Gather five broken weapons for communal pursuits (10,5)
I believe the answer is:
collective farms
'communal pursuits' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'gather five broken weapons' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'gather' could be 'collect' (synonyms) and 'collect' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'five' is 'ivef' which is present in the answer.
'weapons' could be 'arms' ('arm' can be a synonym of 'weapon') and 'arms' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
