Flier almost primeval in construction (7)
I believe the answer is:
vampire
This clue might be a double definition.
'flier' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'almost primeval in construction' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vampire that I've seen before include "Legendary dead body that sucks blood" , "A blood-sucker like Dracula" , "Blood-sucker (bat)" , "Blood-sucking ghoul" , "fabulous creature" .)
