Learn tap dancing, like pop (8)
I believe the answer is:
paternal
'pop' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'learn tap dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'learn'+'tap'='learntap'
'learntap' is an anagram of 'PATERNAL'.
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paternal that I've seen before include "Fatherly in prenatal way" , "Related on the father's side" , "Of one's father" , "Fatherly in pre-natal mode" , "Characteristic of a father" .)
