Team leader getting animal to walk unsteadily (6)
I believe the answer is:
totter
'walk unsteadily' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'team leader getting animal' is the wordplay.
'team leader' becomes 't' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'animal' becomes 'otter' (I've seen this before).
't'+'otter'='TOTTER'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for totter that I've seen before include "one doing addition" , "Waver and threaten to fall" , "Be unsteady on one's feet" , "Scrap dealer" , "Proceed unsteadily" .)
