Going ahead with the draw? No; backtracking (6)
I believe the answer is:
onward
'going ahead' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'with the draw? no backtracking' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'backtracking' says the letters should be written backwards.
'draw' next to 'no' is 'drawno'.
'drawno' reversed gives 'ONWARD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for onward that I've seen before include "Advancing (like Christian soldiers?)" , "Ahead" , "Advance like Christian soldiers" , "Direction to be taken by Christian soldiers?" , "In front" .)
