Mark head of ferocious wolf (5)
I believe the answer is:
scarf
'wolf' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'mark head of ferocious' is the wordplay.
'mark' becomes 'scar' (synonyms).
'head of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'ferocious' is 'f'.
'scar'+'f'='SCARF'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scarf that I've seen before include "item of clothing" , "Neck warmer" , "Stole" , "Item worn on head or shoulders" , "Worn square of material" .)
