Some cattle rustler finally wearing symbol of peace (5)
I believe the answer is:
drove
'some cattle' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'rustler finally wearing symbol of peace' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'wearing' is an insertion indicator.
'symbol of peace' becomes 'dove' (I've seen this in another clue).
The final letter of 'rustler' is 'r'.
'r' put inside 'dove' is 'DROVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drove that I've seen before include "Motored; moving flock" , "Pushed" , "acted like Mr Toad" , "took to the road" , "Carried along by force" .)
