A few light struggles? This shows I surrender (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
white flag
'surrender' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a few light struggles?' is the wordplay.
'struggles?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'struggling' mean this).
'a'+'few'+'light'='afewlight'
'afewlight' anagrammed gives 'WHITE FLAG'.
'this shows i' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for white flag that I've seen before include "Pallid banner for surrender" , "Sign of surrender" , "Token of surrender" , "It signals surrender" , "Signal of truce or surrender" .)
