Bully about to run after man (6)
I believe the answer is:
hector
'bully' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'to run after man' is the wordplay.
'to' becomes 'cto' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'cto'+'r'='ctor'
'ctor' after 'he' is 'HECTOR'.
'about' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hector that I've seen before include "Bully - badger" , "Trojan hero - bully" , "Browbeat, bully" , "'Browbeat, ballyrag (6)'" , "Bully, intimidate or threaten" .)
