Most hornets, if disturbed, will go flying! (5)
I believe the answer is:
heron
'most' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heron that I've seen before include "flier" , "Rhone (anag) - bird" , "eg Egret" , "Big bird" , "Bird of the Rhone, strangely" .)
