Characteristic of a quadruped being 48 in. long? (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
four-footed
'characteristic' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of a quadruped being 48 in long?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'being' could be 'ted' (Ted is an example) and 'ted' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
