He shoots out from hiding (6)
I believe the answer is:
sniper
This could be a double definition.
'he shoots' is the first definition.
'out from hiding' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sniper that I've seen before include "one who takes pot from a safe place" , "Hidden rifleman" , "Hidden sharpshooter" , "He shoots form cover" , "dangerous individual" .)
