Male, extremely eloquent, finds slug (6)
I believe the answer is:
bullet
'slug' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'male extremely eloquent' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'bull' (bull is a kind of male).
'extremely' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the extremes of the word are used).
'eloquent' with its middle taken out is 'et'.
'bull'+'et'='BULLET'
'finds' is the link.
(Other definitions for bullet that I've seen before include "Lethal projectile" , "Piece of ammunition" , "Small missile from gun" , "Have attraction" , "High-speed projectile" .)
