Flyer, for example, with some more text added (5)
I believe the answer is:
egret
'flyer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'example with some more text added' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'with some more text' becomes 'ret' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'added' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'eg'+'ret'='EGRET'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egret that I've seen before include "Lesser white heron" , "White, plumed waterbird" , "White-plumed wader" , "Wading bird like a heron" , "Type of forty eight Ac" .)
