Crossword Genius

Sentence fragment from drunken sherpa (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phrase

'sentence fragment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drunken sherpa' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sherpa' anagrammed gives 'PHRASE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for phrase that I've seen before include "Mode of expression" , "Seraph (anag.)" , "Word (in a particular way)" , "Present" , "Sherpa (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
