Last of huntsmen considering ignoring first sound of horses (8)
I believe the answer is:
neighing
'sound of horses' is the definition.
'neighing' can be an answer for 'sound' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'of horses' bit.
'last of huntsmen considering ignoring first' is the wordplay.
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'considering' becomes 'weighing' ('weigh' can be a synonym of 'consider').
'ignoring first' means to remove the first letter.
The final letter of 'huntsmen' is 'n'.
'weighing' with its first letter removed is 'eighing'.
'n'+'eighing'='NEIGHING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neighing that I've seen before include "Making the sound of a horse" , "Whinnying" , "Sound of punch maybe" .)
