A Scot prepared to get along without power (5)
I believe the answer is:
coast
'along without power' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a scot prepared to get' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'scot' with letters rearranged gives 'cost'.
'a' inserted into 'cost' is 'COAST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coast that I've seen before include "Seashore; run downhill" , "Make no effort" , "Edge of landmass" , "Run without power" , "Cruise" .)
