A fancied flier (3)
I believe the answer is:
roc
'flier' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Legendary flier' mean 'roc' so perhaps 'flier' could also mean 'roc')
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roc that I've seen before include "Sinbad's huge bird" , "Legendary air carrier" , "Vast legendary bird" , "Sinbad's giant bird" , "Legendary flier" .)
