Jumbo album by Fleetwood Mac starts to encounter ridicule (6)
I believe the answer is:
tusker
'ridicule' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tusker that I've seen before include "origin for Merchant Ivory?" , "Elephant perhaps" , "Animal with long teeth like elephant or walrus" , "Animal with long teeth like elephant or wild boar" , "E.g. an elephant" .)
