Flyer from member of Trinity finally spending term inside (8)
I believe the answer is:
songbird
'flyer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for songbird that I've seen before include "Nightingale, for example" , "Thrush or canary, say" , "Eg, warbler" , "Lark, for example" , "Melodious avian" .)
