The ‘list’ sailors are said to walk with? (4)
I believe the answer is:
roll
'the list' is the definition.
(roll is a kind of list)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roll that I've seen before include "Move on wheels - individual portion of bread" , "Gymnastic move; bread" , "Official list; cylinder" , "Move by turning over" , "Move like a wheel" .)
