Greyhound? (6)
I believe the answer is:
lapdog
'greyhound?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'greyhound?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'greyhound?' could be 'dog' (greyhound is a kind of dog) and 'dog' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lap' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lapdog that I've seen before include "little pet" , "One readily submitting" , "Devoted attendant" , "Pampered pet - sycophantic sidekick" , "Small pampered pet" .)
