Rocky stirs during bout - is it the beginning of love? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
first sight
'it the beginning of love?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'rocky stirs during bout' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'stirs' is 'irsts' which is located in the answer.
'bout' could be 'fight' (synonyms) and 'fight' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
