Almost stagger over Scotsman resembling legendary warrior (9)
I believe the answer is:
amazonian
'resembling legendary warrior' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'almost stagger over scotsman' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'over' could be 'on' (physically on top of) and 'on' is found in the answer.
'scotsman' could be 'ian' (common Scottish name) and 'ian' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amazonian that I've seen before include "description of great river" , "from South America" , "Like a river" , "Relating to large South American river" , "resembling legendary warrior" .)
