Like a rough gust, high on the rocks (8)
I believe the answer is:
thuggish
'like a rough' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'gust high on the rocks' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the rocks' indicates an anagram.
'gust' put after 'high' is 'highgust'.
'highgust' anagrammed gives 'THUGGISH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
