Ultimately Gordon Banks's acrobatic jump inspired shot-stopper? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
lens cap
'shot-stopper?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'ultimately gordon banks's acrobatic jump inspired' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
'jump' becomes 'leap' (synonyms).
'inspired' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters have been inspired or breathed in).
The final letters of 'gordon banks acrobatic' are 'nsc'.
'nsc' placed into 'leap' is 'LENS CAP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lens cap that I've seen before include "protection for photographer" , "Aperture protector" , "Camera cover" .)
