Get a star involved in racy water sports? (8)
I believe the answer is:
regattas
'racy water sports?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'get a star involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates anagramming the letters (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'get'+'a'+'star'='getastar'
'getastar' anagrammed gives 'REGATTAS'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regattas that I've seen before include "Sporting events with boats and yachts" , "races at sea" , "Yacht races as part of sporting event" , "Boat race meetings" , "causing lots of rows" .)
