Group of hunters satisfied bagging tail of grouse (4)
I believe the answer is:
meet
'group of hunters' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'satisfied bagging tail of grouse' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract').
'bagging' indicates putting letters inside (bag can mean to take or obtain).
'tail of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'grouse' is 'e'.
'met' enclosing 'e' is 'MEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meet that I've seen before include "club" , "Assemble" , "Come across" , "Deal with - encounter" , "Fitting - encounter" .)
