No well-directed shots are discharged at this (6)
I believe the answer is:
random
'no' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'well-directed shots are discharged at this' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'directed' could be 'ran' (running is a kind of directing) and 'ran' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'dom' 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).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for random that I've seen before include "Without pattern" , "Lacking regularity" , "Without a particular aim, haphazard as choice may be" , "casual?" , "Haphazard, hit or miss" .)
