Gets a nasty burn round his bad leg, the clumsy fellow! (7)
I believe the answer is:
bungler
'clumsy fellow' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'gets a nasty burn round his bad leg' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'leg' is 'gle' which is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'burn' is 'bunr' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bungler that I've seen before include "Someone prone to getting it wrong" , "One prone to error" , "Clumsy incompetent" , "Clumsy executant" .)
