Start to laminate, lining extra rooftop (6)
I believe the answer is:
wilder
'start to laminate lining extra rooftop' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'start to laminate lining extra rooftop' is the wordplay.
'start to' says to take the initial letters.
'lining' indicates putting letters inside.
'extra' becomes 'wide' (cricket term).
'rooftop' becomes 'r' (top of the word 'roof').
The first letter of 'laminate' is 'l'.
'l' inserted into 'wide' is 'wilde'.
'wilde'+'r'='WILDER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wilder that I've seen before include "Billy --, US film director and screenwriter" , "More primitive" , "Less conventional" , "American dramatist" .)
