Stop eating duck and ring for a peg (5)
I believe the answer is:
quoit
'a peg' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'stop eating duck and ring' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'stop' could be 'quit' (synonyms) and 'quit' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for quoit that I've seen before include "Rubber ring thrown to encircle peg in game" , "Cast rings" , "Ring used in shipboard game" , "Quito (anag.)" , "Ring for throwing in game" .)
