A percussion instrument brought back in a car amuses all (6)
I believe the answer is:
maraca
'a percussion instrument' is the definition.
(I know that maraca is a type of percussion instrument)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maraca that I've seen before include "one easily rattled?" , "Instrumental gourd" , "One of a pair used by Spanish dancer" , "Rattle used as a rhythm instrument" , "Instrument made from a filled gourd" .)
