Bluff is vague, we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
feint
'bluff' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for feint that I've seen before include "Pretended blow" , "Make slight movement to divert, as in fencing" , "Mock attack" , "Misleading action" , "False fencing trust sounds dim" .)
