Annoy Victor, fencing with modified epee (5)
I believe the answer is:
peeve
'annoy' is the definition.
(I know that annoy is a is a more specific form of the action of peeve)
'victor fencing with modified epee' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'victor' could be 'v' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'v' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'epee' is 'peee' which is located in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peeve that I've seen before include "Cause to be annoyed, irritated, or resentful" , "Get annoyed" , "bug" , "Annoy, get at, irritate" , "Intensely annoy" .)
