Does possibly delay one seizing power (6)
I believe the answer is:
wapiti
'does possibly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'delay one seizing power' is the wordplay.
'delay' becomes 'wait' (synonyms).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'seizing' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are seized).
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'wait'+'i'='waiti'
'waiti' enclosing 'p' is 'WAPITI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wapiti that I've seen before include "Deer with much-branched antlers" , "Red deer - I paw it (anag)" , "North American native" , "I paw it (anag) - large North American deer" , "Large N. Am. red deer" .)
