Aboard catamaran, domesticated pets are uncontrolled (6)
I believe the answer is:
random
'uncontrolled' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'aboard catamaran domesticated pets' is the wordplay.
'aboard' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is aboard or within the clue).
'RANDOM' can be found hidden inside 'catamaran domesticated pets'.
'are' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for random that I've seen before include "Without a particular aim, haphazard as choice may be" , "Chance, unplanned" , "Governed by chance" , "Haphazard, hit or miss" , "Following no method" .)
