Intestine looped around bend (5)
I believe the answer is:
elbow
'bend' is the definition.
(I know that elbow is a type of bend)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elbow that I've seen before include "given to one about to leave" , "Barge" , "Dismissal?" , "Hinged joint" , "Reject" .)
