End rage in battle call to alert swordsman (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
en garde
'call to alert swordsman' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'end rage in battle' is the wordplay.
'in battle' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'end'+'rage'='endrage'
'endrage' is an anagram of 'EN GARDE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for en garde that I've seen before include "(In fencing) in a defensive stance" , "Angered with opening position in fencing - be alert. (2,5)" , "Fencer's call" , "Prepare to fence!" , "Get ready to fence" .)
