Might such an effort get total support for a strike? (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
all out
'might such an effort' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally define each other.
'total support for a strike?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'total' could be 'all' (I've seen this before) and 'all' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'out' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for all out that I've seen before include "total" , "Putting full effort into" , "tenth wicket has been taken" , "Call for the strike" , "Most strenuous" .)
