Wild forest dwellers rattled medic attending court (8)
I believe the answer is:
woodmice
'wild forest dwellers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'rattled medic attending court' is the wordplay.
'rattled' is an anagram indicator.
'attending' says to put letters next to each other (to attend can mean to follow).
'court' becomes 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone).
'medic' anagrammed gives 'dmice'.
'dmice' put after 'woo' is 'WOODMICE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
