Bishop describes members of flock, perhaps, as dull and slow-moving? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bovine
'slow-moving?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'bishop describes members of flock perhaps as dull' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bishop' could be 'b' (abbreviation for bishop in chess) and 'b' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'as' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bovine that I've seen before include "Like a cow" , "To do with cows, dull and stupid" , "Ox-like" , "Like or to do with cows" , "Relating to cattle" .)
