Fear and admire cycling (7)
I believe the answer is:
spectre
'fear' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spectre that I've seen before include "Ghostly figure" , "Narrow ravine" , "Wraith" , "something seen as a threat" , "Ghost, phantom, apparition" .)
