The Madrileño blocking, twitching and moving towards goal (5)
I believe the answer is:
telic
'moving towards goal' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'the madrileno blocking twitching' is the wordplay.
'the madrileno' becomes 'el' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'blocking' indicates putting letters inside (to block can mean to plug a gap in something).
'twitching' becomes 'tic' (tic is a kind of twitching).
'el' put within 'tic' is 'TELIC'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for telic that I've seen is " (Of action) directed to a definite end".)
