Extract object gutted by fish (11)
I believe the answer is:
disentangle
'extract' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'object gutted by fish' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'object' could be 'tangle' (tangle is a kind of object) and 'tangle' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disentangle that I've seen before include "Straighten" , "Clarify" , "Untwist" , "free" , "Unravel" .)
