Spun-out speech to attract minimum of listeners (5)
I believe the answer is:
drawl
'spun-out speech' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'attract minimum of listeners' is the wordplay.
'attract' becomes 'draw' (synonyms).
'minimum of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'listeners' is 'l'.
'draw'+'l'='DRAWL'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drawl that I've seen before include "Way of speaking slowly" , "particular tone of voice" , "Slow, protracted way of speaking" , "manner of speaking" , "Speak slowly and lazily" .)
