Travelled on back of bronco – here? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodeo
'here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'travelled on back of bronco' is the wordplay.
'travelled' becomes 'rode' (eg travelled on a horse).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'back of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'bronco' is 'o'.
'rode'+'o'='RODEO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "At which cowboys show their skills" , "Cowboy competition, riding horses and bulls" , "skilful exhibition?" , "A bunch of cowboys, showing" , "Cattle round-up" .)
