That man will get tense when cornered by my warrior (6)
I believe the answer is:
hector
'that man will get tense when cornered by my warrior' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'that man will get tense when cornered by my' is the wordplay.
'that man' becomes 'he'.
'will get' says to put letters next to each other.
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'when cornered by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (corner can mean to trap or imprison).
'my' becomes 'cor' (both are expressions of surprise).
't' put within 'cor' is 'ctor'.
'he'+'ctor'='HECTOR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hector that I've seen before include "Greek fighter" , "Annoy like a Trojan hero" , "Bully like Trojan prince" , "(To) bully (someone); Trojan warrior (Iliad)" , "Intimidate by bullying, or Greek warrior killed by Achilles" .)
