Country type removing hearts from game birds (7)
I believe the answer is:
peasant
'country type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'country' relates to this answer.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peasant that I've seen before include "rude fellow" , "Rustic fellow" , "Country labourer" , "Poor worker on the land" , "One from the country" .)
