Accept reason for pig being found outside border of sty? (7)
I believe the answer is:
swallow
'accept reason' is the definition.
'swallow' can be an answer for 'accept' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'reason' bit.
'pig being found outside border of sty?' is the wordplay.
'pig' becomes 'sow' (I've seen this before).
'being found outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'border of sty?' becomes 'wall' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sow' placed around 'wall' is 'SWALLOW'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swallow that I've seen before include "Take in - migratory bird" , "Consume - bird!" , "Get down" , "Long-winged, fork-trailed bird" , "It's like a swift - gulp" .)
