Walk about a yard? (4)
'walk' is the definition.
(I know that step is a more specific form of the action the walk)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for step that I've seen before include "Part of a stairway" , "Measure taken" , "Footfall" , "Indian garment" , "Set foot down on pest" .)
This clue is a double definition.
'walk' is the first definition.
(I know that walk is a more specific form of the action pace)
'a yard' is the second definition.
(I know that yard can be written as pace)
'about' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for pace that I've seen before include "Rate of progress" , "Gait" , "With the leave of; speed" , "Lick" , "politely expressing disagreement" .)
