High-profile lawyer meets fifth competitor carrying outfit for Olympic event (8)
I believe the answer is:
dressage
'olympic event' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'high-profile lawyer meets fifth competitor carrying outfit' is the wordplay.
'high profile lawyer' becomes 'ag' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'meets' says to put letters next to each other.
'fifth competitor' becomes 'e' (5th letter of 'competitor').
'carrying' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, the bottom letters carry others).
'outfit' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ag' put next to 'e' is 'age'.
'age' after 'dress' is 'DRESSAGE'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dressage that I've seen before include "Red gases (anag)" , "The training of a horse in manoeuvres" , "Art of training horses" , "Method of training horses to do manoeuvres" , "discipline for horses" .)
