Friar with cat flying A380? (8)
I believe the answer is:
aircraft
'a380?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'friar with cat flying' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'flying' is an anagram indicator (letters fly around into new positions).
'friar' after 'cat' is 'catfriar'.
'catfriar' anagrammed gives 'AIRCRAFT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aircraft that I've seen before include "High-flier" , "Planes" , "Airbus A330 or 380, say" , "Flier" , "Aeroplane, helicopter etc" .)
