Way to break edict and behave like a crooked cowboy (6)
I believe the answer is:
rustle
'behave like a crooked cowboy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'way to break edict' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (short for street).
'to break' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters break the word apart).
'edict' becomes 'rule' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'st' inserted into 'rule' is 'RUSTLE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rustle that I've seen before include "Swish - steal cattle" , "Swish - lustre (anag)" , "The sound of leaves in the wind" , "Dry crackling sound" , "making little noise" .)
