A tender for some transferable stock? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cowherd
'a tender' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'some transferable stock?' is the wordplay.
'some transferable' becomes 'cow' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stock?' becomes 'herd' (I have seen 'Stock of cattle' mean 'herd' so perhaps 'stock' could also mean 'herd').
'cow'+'herd'='COWHERD'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cowherd that I've seen before include "Beef tender" , "Farm worker" , "Cattle tender" , "One tending cattle" .)
