Stumped, ring representative and show annoyance (5)
I believe the answer is:
stomp
'show annoyance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'stumped ring representative' is the wordplay.
'stumped' becomes 'st' (cricket abbreviation).
'ring' becomes 'O' (O is the shape of a ring).
'representative' becomes 'mp' (Member of Parliament).
'st'+'o'+'mp'='STOMP'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stomp that I've seen before include "Tread angrily" , "Walk heavily" , "Fast rhythmic dance" , "Tread very heavily" , "lively jazz dance?" .)
