Weapon wraps knight in netting (5)
I believe the answer is:
lance
'weapon' is the definition.
(I know that lance is a type of weapon)
'knight in netting' is the wordplay.
'knight' becomes 'N' (chess abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'netting' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this in another clue).
'n' put within 'lace' is 'LANCE'.
'wraps' is the link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lance that I've seen before include "Incise" , "Long weapon; prick" , "Spear carried by mounted soldier" , "Long pointed weapon of old" , "Chap" .)
