Repeatedly trick clumsy beast (4)
I believe the answer is:
dodo
'clumsy beast' is the definition.
'dodo' can be an answer for 'beast' (dodo is a kind of beast). I am unsure of the 'clumsy' bit.
'repeatedly trick' is the wordplay.
'repeatedly' says to double the letters.
'trick' becomes 'do' (I've seen this in other clues).
'do' duplicated is 'DODO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dodo that I've seen before include "Native of Mauritius" , "Two rooks - one was unable to fly" , "One deeply reactionary" , "one very dead!" , "silly person" .)
