Supporting weight, primate flipped foot in front (7)
I believe the answer is:
forepaw
'foot in front' is the definition.
'forepaw' can be an answer for 'foot' (forepaw is a kind of foot). I am not certain of the 'in front' bit.
'supporting weight primate flipped' is the wordplay.
'supporting' becomes 'for' (being for something means supporting it).
'weight' becomes 'w' (short for weight).
'primate' becomes 'ape' (large primate).
'flipped' is a reversal indicator.
'w'+'ape'='wape'
'wape' written backwards gives 'epaw'.
'for'+'epaw'='FOREPAW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forepaw that I've seen before include "Animal's front foot" , "Part of a cat - FA power (anag)" , "(Dog's) front foot" , "Animal's front "hand"" .)
