Rover possibly taking a trip East (6)
I believe the answer is:
pirate
'rover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'taking a trip east' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'trip' is 'pirt' which is present in the left over letters.
'east' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'possibly' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pirate that I've seen before include "not officially circulated" , "Buccaneer, sea robber" , "Silver, perhaps" , "Corsair" , "Penzance marauder ?" .)
