Write a few words about us in combat (5)
I believe the answer is:
joust
'combat' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'write a few words about us' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'us' is found in the answer.
'write' could be 'jot' (jotting is a kind of writing) and 'jot' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for joust that I've seen before include "Contest for mounted knights" , "Encounter between two mounted knights at tourney" , "Participate in a tourney" , "Tilt - tourney" , "Tournament with engagements between knights" .)
