Instrument stolen by enemy, they say (4)
I believe the answer is:
lute
'instrument' is the definition.
(I know that Lute is a instrument)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Old stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body" , "Subject to drugs" , "Old plucked instrument" , "Old guitar-like instrument played by minstrels" , "Play instrument" .)
