Reportedly drags along on foot (4)
I believe the answer is:
toes
'reportedly drags along on foot' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'reportedly drags along' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'drags along' becomes 'tows' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tows' sounds like 'TOES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toes that I've seen before include "Foot digits" , "Divisions of foot front" , "What Pobble lacked (Lear)" , "Lower digits" .)
