Villager loves to carry fodder on the way back (5)
I believe the answer is:
yahoo
'villager' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'loves to carry fodder on the way back' is the wordplay.
'loves' becomes 'oo' (love means 0 in tennis).
'to carry fodder' becomes 'hay' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on the way back' is a reversal indicator.
'oo'+'hay'='oohay'
'oohay' written backwards gives 'YAHOO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
