Be a drifter? (5)
I believe the answer is:
float
'be a drifter?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for float that I've seen before include "Be buoyant" , "Bob" , "Lie on surface of water" , "Stay on the surface without sinking" , "Petty cash - milk vehicle - fishing aid" .)
