Boldly confront savage grabbing king (6)
I believe the answer is:
breast
'boldly confront' is the definition.
'breast' can be an answer for 'confront' (breast can mean to face or confront). I'm unsure of the 'boldly' bit.
'savage grabbing king' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'king' could be 'r' (abbreviation of Latin rex) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'savage' could be 'beast' (synonyms) and 'beast' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for breast that I've seen before include "Bosom" , "Outer thorax" , "face" , "seat of emotions" , "flesh" .)
