One thrown away by people generally? (7)
I believe the answer is:
outcast
'one thrown away by people generally?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one thrown away by' is the wordplay.
'one thrown' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this in another clue).
'away' becomes 'out' (synonyms).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'cast' after 'out' is 'OUTCAST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outcast that I've seen before include "One is excluded from society" , "one's not admitted" , "Pariah, leper" , "Role of Ishmael" , "Derelict" .)
