English among staff love horsey event (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodeo
'horsey event' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'english among staff love' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'among' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are placed among others).
'staff' becomes 'rod' (both can mean a stick or cane).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'rod'+'o'='rodo'
'e' placed within 'rodo' is 'RODEO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "Cowboy show" , "Contest of cowboy skills" , "cowboy carnival" , "Western show" , "Horse sporting event for cowboys" .)
