Parade a symbol of victory that is not shown on BBC (5)
I believe the answer is:
vaunt
'parade' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a symbol of victory that is not shown on bbc' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'victory' could be 'v' and 'v' is found in the answer.
'not' could be 'nt' (synonyms) and 'nt' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'u' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vaunt that I've seen before include "Show off" , "crow" , "Talk boastfully of" , "Trumpet" , "Boast about (something), often excessively" .)
