Confused talk about duck I caught (7)
I believe the answer is:
chaotic
'confused talk about duck i caught' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'confused talk about duck i caught' is the wordplay.
'confused talk' becomes 'chat' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'confused' bit.).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'chat' enclosing 'o' is 'chaot'.
'chaot'+'i'+'c'='CHAOTIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaotic that I've seen before include "In complete confusion" , "mess" , "badly arranged" , "In a confused state" , "in random order" .)
