Walk the street with a sailorly gait (6)
I believe the answer is:
stroll
'walk' is the definition.
(I know that stroll is a kind of the walk)
'street with a sailorly gait' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a sailorly gait' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of gait. I am not sure about the 'sailorly' bit.).
'st'+'roll'='STROLL'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stroll that I've seen before include "Constitutional" , "A casual or lazy walk" , "Promenade" , "A quiet, pleasant walk" , "Walk in a leisurely way" .)
