Reckless person showing sign of sorrow far from home? (8)
I believe the answer is:
tearaway
'reckless' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'person showing sign of sorrow far from home?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'sign' could be 'tear' (I have seen 'Sign of sorrow' mean 'tear' so perhaps 'sign' could also mean 'tear') and 'tear' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'away' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tearaway that I've seen before include "Rough" , "rebel" , "Reckless violent person" , "Hothead" , "Hooligan" .)
