How happy cowboys might be? (7)
I believe the answer is:
trigger
This clue could be a double definition.
'how happy cowboys might' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'be?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trigger that I've seen before include "Start" , "One pulled to fire" , "Activating device" , "Lever on gun" , "Component of gun" .)
