Girl given ring? It’s ropy! (5)
I believe the answer is:
lasso
'it's ropy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'girl given ring?' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'lass' (lass can informally mean a girl).
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ring?' becomes 'o' (O is the shape of a ring).
'lass'+'o'='LASSO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lasso that I've seen before include "Long rope with running noose" , "snare" , "Rope for throwing" , "Rope used for catching cattle" , "A cowboy's rope with a running noose" .)
