A freshwater type of carp, going around very quietly, move closer (8)
I believe the answer is:
approach
'move closer' is the definition.
(to approach something is to get closer to it)
'a freshwater type of carp going around very quietly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'carp' is 'prac' which is present in the remaining letters.
'quietly' could be 'p' (p for piano and quiet) and 'p' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for approach that I've seen before include "Move towards" , "Come towards" , "What happens before landing" , "Avenue" , "Get closer to" .)
