Revolvers waved initially by cads? (6)
I believe the answer is:
wheels
'revolvers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'waved initially by cads?' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cads?' becomes 'heels' ('heel' can be a synonym of 'cad').
The initial letter of 'waved' is 'w'.
'w'+'heels'='WHEELS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wheels that I've seen before include "Turns in a wide circle" , "Turns in a wide curve" , "Car (informal)" , "Rotary devices - motor transport" , "Vehicle" .)
