Repelling goat making another attack? (9)
I believe the answer is:
rebutting
'repelling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'goat making another attack?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'goat' could be 'butt' (synonyms) and 'butt' is present in the answer.
'another' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rebutting that I've seen before include "Refuting" , "Buttering up by way of disproving" , "Negating" , "Repelling" .)
