City that took in dangerously stuffed horse (4)
I believe the answer is:
troy
'city' is the definition.
(Troy is an example)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for troy that I've seen before include "Ancient city associated with a wooden horse" , "City besieged by the Greeks - system of weights for gems" , "System of weights for measuring precious metals and gemstones" , "System of weights for precious stones and metals" , "City besieged by the Greeks - system of gem weight measurement" .)
