See one US soldier covered in hair (7)
I believe the answer is:
imagine
'see' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'one us soldier covered in hair' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'us soldier' becomes 'gi' (I've seen this in other clues).
'covered in' is an insertion indicator.
'hair' becomes 'mane' (I have seen 'Long hair ' mean 'mane' so perhaps 'hair' could also mean 'mane').
'gi' placed inside 'mane' is 'magine'.
'i'+'magine'='IMAGINE'
(Other definitions for imagine that I've seen before include "Conceive; fancy" , "Classic Lennon song" , "Conjure up in mind, visualise" , "Reckon" , "Conjure up in mind,fancy" .)
