Field where they saw grouse coming in (9)
I believe the answer is:
carpentry
'in' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'field where they saw grouse' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'field' could be 'entry' (I've seen this before) and 'entry' is found in the answer.
'grouse' could be 'carp' (both can mean to complain) and 'carp' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'coming' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carpentry that I've seen before include "Woodworking" , "Woodwork" , "The purpose of chips" , "Manipulating deal, perhaps" , "Trade" .)
