Get rid of horses that arent steady? (8)
I believe the answer is:
unstable
'get rid of horses' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'arent steady?' is the wordplay.
'arent' becomes 'un' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'steady?' becomes 'stable' (associated in meaning).
'un'+'stable'='UNSTABLE'
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unstable that I've seen before include "Not steady or dependable" , "Not mentally sound" , "Likely to collapse" , "Wobbly" , "Not steady, maybe irrational" .)
