Crossword Genius

Teardrop possibly coming from carnivore (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

predator

'carnivore' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'teardrop possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'teardrop' is an anagram of 'PREDATOR'.

'coming from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for predator that I've seen before include "Carnivorous animal - teardrop (anag)" , "One seeking victim" , "One preying on others" , "Hunting animal" , "kite, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
