Force wild child on drug to get counsel finally (5)
I believe the answer is:
impel
'force' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'wild child on drug to get counsel finally' is the wordplay.
'wild child' becomes 'imp' (imp is a kind of child. I am not sure about the 'wild' bit.).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'drug' becomes 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'counsel' is 'l'.
'imp'+'e'+'l'='IMPEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Egg" , "Spur on" , "'Drive, force (5)'" , "Urge forward, drive" , "Drive or coerce" .)
