Do little swivel, diver partially turns (4)
I believe the answer is:
idle
'do' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'little swivel diver partially turns' is the wordplay.
'partially' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'turns' is a reversal indicator.
'eldi' can be found hidden inside 'little swivel diver'.
'eldi' reversed gives 'IDLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Workshy" , "Empty" , "out of a job" , "Inactive - lied (anag)" , "Explosive stuff" .)
