Puzzle from personnel wearing drag (5)
I believe the answer is:
throw
'puzzle' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'personnel wearing drag' is the wordplay.
'personnel' becomes 'hr' (Human Resources).
'wearing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'drag' becomes 'tow' (towing is a kind of dragging).
'hr' going within 'tow' is 'THROW'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for throw that I've seen before include "A turn with the dice" , "Form (pot) on a wheel" , "Project through the air" , "Hurl, fling" , "Confuse - cast" .)
