Footballer inadvertently tackles dancer (9)
I believe the answer is:
ballerina
'dancer' is the definition.
(ballerina is a kind of dancer)
'footballer inadvertently tackles' is the wordplay.
'BALLERINA' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ballerina that I've seen before include "lass good at splits?" , "Dancers" , "agile performer" , "girl on point duty" , "Female classical dancer" .)
