Speak of how some toreador got tossed! (5)
I believe the answer is:
orate
'speak' is the definition.
(orating is a kind of speaking)
'of how some toreador got tossed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rte' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Harangue" , "Speak publicly" , "Lecture" , "Make a flowery speech" , "Speak in florid style" .)
