Forcibly take drunk sailor (8)
I believe the answer is:
highjack
'forcibly take' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'drunk sailor' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'high' (I've seen this before).
'sailor' becomes 'jack' (informal term for a sailor).
'high'+'jack'='HIGHJACK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for highjack that I've seen before include "Illegally take" , "Seize by force" .)
