Violent farm animal encountering quiet little creature (7)
I believe the answer is:
rampant
'violent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'farm animal encountering quiet little creature' is the wordplay.
'farm animal' becomes 'ram' (I've seen this before).
'encountering' says to put letters next to each other.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano').
'little creature' becomes 'ant' (ant is a kind of creature. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.**).
'ram'+'p'+'ant'='RAMPANT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rampant that I've seen before include "Spreading like wildfire" , "Unrestrained, flourishing excessively" , "Unrestrained and violent" , "Showing unrestrained growth" , "On the rampage" .)
