Bank said to have responsibility for animal (7)
I believe the answer is:
roebuck
'bank said to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'responsibility for animal' is the wordplay.
'responsibility' becomes 'buck' (as in taking the buck).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'animal' becomes 'roe' (I've seen this before).
'buck' after 'roe' is 'ROEBUCK'.
'have' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roebuck that I've seen before include "Stag" , "reddish-brown jumper" , "Graceful creature" , "does partner" , "Small male deer" .)
