Support for guy, figure with back in torment and leg (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
hind leg
'leg' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'support for guy figure with back in torment' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'support' could be 'leg' (leg is a kind of support) and 'leg' is present in the answer.
'back' could be 'hind' (synonyms) and 'hind' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hind leg that I've seen before include "Kind of support" , "Rear limb" , "Back limb" .)
