Boat's adrift? One may put one's foot in it (5)
I believe the answer is:
sabot
'one may put one's foot in it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'boat's adrift?' is the wordplay.
'adrift?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'adrift' mean this).
'boats' is an anagram of 'SABOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sabot that I've seen before include "sole support?" , "Boast about wooden shoe" , "Simple shoe" , "French wooden shoe" , "This from last" .)
