Swine taking age to evacuate ground finally, having misdirected supporters (6-4)
I believe the answer is:
pigeon-toed
'misdirected supporters' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can sometimes mean the same thing.
'swine taking age to evacuate ground finally' is the wordplay.
'swine' becomes 'pig' (pig is a kind of swine).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'age' becomes 'eon' (eon is a kind of age).
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letters of 'evacuate ground' are 'ed'.
'pig'+'eon'+'to'+'ed'='PIGEON-TOED'
'having' is the link.
