Foreign sportsman or cad, drunk on half a pint! (7)
I believe the answer is:
picador
'foreign sportsman' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'or cad drunk on half a pint' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'half a' suggests halving the letters.
'pint' cut in half is 'pi'.
'or'+'cad'='orcad'
'orcad' with letters rearranged gives 'cador'.
'cador' put after 'pi' is 'PICADOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for picador that I've seen before include "Mounted bullfighter with a lance" , "ringfighter" , "Lancer" , "Riding bullfighter" , "The bullfighter who goads the animal" .)
