Sort of cat a chap gets cross with? (4)
I believe the answer is:
manx
'sort of cat' is the definition.
'manx' can be an answer for 'cat' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'sort of' bit.
'a chap gets cross with?' is the wordplay.
'a chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cross with?' becomes 'x' (X is cross-shaped. I am not sure about the 'with?' bit.).
'man'+'x'='MANX'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manx that I've seen before include "Sort of cat (from Douglas?)" , "Kind of cat" , "The natives' language" , "From an isle in the Irish Sea" , "To do with the Isle of Man - say a cat" .)
