Translated ode, or a country festival event (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodeo
'a country festival event' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'translated ode or' is the wordplay.
'translated' is an anagram indicator.
'ode'+'or'='odeor'
'odeor' is an anagram of 'RODEO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "One should be up for this event" , "At which cowboys show their skills" , "Cowboy event" , "Western show" , "cowboy carnival" .)
