Something afoot to boast about? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sabot
'something afoot' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'boast about?' is the wordplay.
'about?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'about' mean this).
'boast' with letters rearranged gives 'SABOT'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sabot that I've seen before include "Boast (anag) - shoe" , "Wooden-soled 13 down" , "Wooden clog" , "what's afoot?" , "Boast about wooden shoe" .)
