Intruder right to chase second ball lodged in tree (10)
I believe the answer is:
trespasser
'intruder' is the definition.
(I know that intruder can be written as trespasser)
'right to chase second ball lodged in tree' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to chase' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'ball' becomes 'pass' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lodged in' is an insertion indicator.
's'+'pass'='spass'
'spass' going into 'tree' is 'trespasse'.
'r' after 'trespasse' is 'TRESPASSER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trespasser that I've seen before include "One poaches, say" , "Palace intruder" , "Uninvited visitor" , "Intruder into another's land" , "sinner" .)
