Doggerel verse stanza (5)
I believe the answer is:
elver
'stanza' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'doggerel verse' is the wordplay.
'ELVER' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elver that I've seen before include "One may see one upriver" , "New slipper" , "Young slippery fish" , "Young migratory fish" , "Immature eel" .)
