Aim to capture man referred to, eventually (8)
I believe the answer is:
intheend
'referred to eventually' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'aim to capture man' is the wordplay.
'aim' becomes 'intend' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to capture' indicates putting letters inside.
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'intend' enclosing 'he' is 'INTHEEND'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
