An inaccurate throw can still have merit (5)
I believe the answer is:
worth
'still have merit' is the definition.
'worth' can be an answer for 'merit' (merit can mean worth or value). I'm not certain of the 'still have' bit.
'an inaccurate throw' is the wordplay.
'an inaccurate' is an anagram indicator.
'throw' with letters rearranged gives 'WORTH'.
'can' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for worth that I've seen before include "Throw (anag.)" , "Merit - value" , "Value (of something)" .)
