Beginnings of Rolling Stones (6)
I believe the answer is:
onsets
'beginnings' is the definition.
(onset is a kind of beginning)
'rolling stones' is the wordplay.
'rolling' indicates an anagram.
'stones' is an anagram of 'ONSETS'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for onsets that I've seen is " Attacks with stones".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
