Our horse goes wild with Bovril - oddly, horses being this? (11)
I believe the answer is:
herbivorous
'horses being this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'our horse goes wild with bovril oddly' is the wordplay.
'goes wild with' indicates an anagram.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
The alternate letters of 'bovril' are 'bvi'.
'our'+'horse'='ourhorse'
'ourhorse' with its letters anagrammed with 'bvi' gives 'HERBIVOROUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for herbivorous that I've seen before include "Feeding on grass and plants" , "Plant-eating" .)
