Which individual gets a command to stop? (4)
I believe the answer is:
whoa
'command to stop?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'which individual gets a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'who' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for whoa that I've seen before include "The King of rock and roll" , "Command to horse to stop or stand still" , "Command for horse to slow or stop" , "horsy expression?" , "Call to stop" .)
