One taking pleasure from attack on Georgia lawman? (8)
I believe the answer is:
gadabout
'one taking pleasure' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition. I also know that 'pleasure' relates to this answer.
'attack on georgia lawman?' is the wordplay.
'attack' becomes 'bout' (I've seen this before).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'georgia' becomes 'GA' (abbreviation for the US state).
'lawman?' becomes 'da'.
'ga'+'da'='gada'
'bout' after 'gada' is 'GADABOUT'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gadabout that I've seen before include "Vagrant" , "restless type" , "Rover" , "restless sort" , "Restless seeker after amusement" .)
