In a wild chase, it will get you nowhere! (5)
I believe the answer is:
goose
'you nowhere' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'in a wild chase it will get' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
'get' could be 'go' (synonyms) and 'go' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'os' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for goose that I've seen before include "Large water bird" , "Migratory aquatic bird" , "Marches in an odd fashion" , "Grab seat" , "Bird; foolish person" .)
