Restrict the movement of Maclean (7)
I believe the answer is:
manacle
'restrict' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'movement of maclean' is the wordplay.
'movement of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'movement' mean this (letters move around)).
'maclean' anagrammed gives 'MANACLE'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manacle that I've seen before include "Shackle on the wrist" , "Metal shackle" , "Handcuff" , "Curb" , "Fetter" .)
