Sound of stinging fly (4)
I believe the answer is:
soar
'fly' is the definition.
(I know this)
'sound of stinging' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sar' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for soar that I've seen before include "Rise quickly" , "Move quickly upward" , "go high" , "Rise; sounds like painful" , "Fly high into the air" .)
