Daughter having first melt down wanders aimlessly around (6)
I believe the answer is:
drifts
'down wanders aimlessly around' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'daughter having first melt' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'having' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'melt' is an anagram indicator.
'first' is an anagram of 'rifts'.
'd'+'rifts'='DRIFTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drifts that I've seen before include "Wanders around" , "Heaps of snow blown by the wind" , "Floats along aimlessly" , "Wanders or floats aimlessly" , "mine passages" .)
