Half the team trot out, staggering, and seem weak (6)
I believe the answer is:
totter
'staggering and seem weak' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'half the team trot out' is the wordplay.
'half the' indicates taking half.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'team' halved is 'te'.
'te'+'trot'='tetrot'
'tetrot' is an anagram of 'TOTTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for totter that I've seen before include "Walk shakily as if about to fall" , "Rag-and-bone man - summer" , "Proceed unsteadily" , "Sway, as if about to fall" , "rock" .)
