Lara gets up to capture bug living in a tree (8)
I believe the answer is:
arboreal
'living in a tree' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'lara gets up to capture bug' is the wordplay.
'gets up' is a reversal indicator.
'to capture' indicates putting letters inside.
'bug' becomes 'bore' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lara' backwards is 'aral'.
'aral' enclosing 'bore' is 'ARBOREAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arboreal that I've seen before include "Tree-dwelling" , "Relating to trees" , "Like the sloth" , "living in forest" , "Wooded" .)
