Shoot consumer inside shop and abscond (5)
I believe the answer is:
panda
'shoot consumer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'inside shop and abscond' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PANDA' is hidden in the letters of 'shop and abscond'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "One eating bamboo" , "Black and white animal" , "Chinese native" , "Bamboo-eater" , "See 17" .)
