Do peers ever stick to their guns? (9)
I believe the answer is:
persevere
'stick to their guns?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'do peers ever' is the wordplay.
'do' indicates an anagram (solvers must work out or 'do' the anagram puzzle).
'peers'+'ever'='peersever'
'peersever' is an anagram of 'PERSEVERE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for persevere that I've seen before include "Serve peer (anag.)" , "Persist steadily" , "Persist, stick at" , "Struggle on!" , "Be unwilling to stop" .)
