Ringleader stops outside or wanders off (6)
I believe the answer is:
strays
'wanders off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'ringleader stops outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ringleader' could be 'r' (first letter of ring) and 'r' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'stays' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strays that I've seen before include "Wanders off, digresses" , "Wanders off the intended route" , "Wanders off the beaten track, gets lost" , "Runaways" , "Wanders off the right path" .)
