First person tore about some flying rock (6)
I believe the answer is:
meteor
'some flying rock' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'first person tore about' is the wordplay.
'first person' becomes 'me' (first-person pronoun).
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'tore' is an anagram of 'teor'.
'me'+'teor'='METEOR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meteor that I've seen before include "sky phenomenon" , "it appears as a streak of light" , "A space-traveller" , "rock falling to earth" , "Space traveller" .)
