'forger' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'discard pound?' is the wordplay.
'discard' becomes 'drop' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pound?' becomes 'hammer' (synonyms).
'drop'+'hammer'='DROP-HAMMER'

'to' acts as a link.
