What's turned out to be a cut of a scythe (5)
I believe the answer is:
swath
'be a cut of a scythe' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'what's turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator.
'whats' anagrammed gives 'SWATH'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for swath that I've seen is " cut in field".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
