Zorro's skill not primarily what cruciverbalists enjoy? (8)

I believe the answer is:

wordplay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cruciverbalists enjoy?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'zorro's skill not primarily' is the wordplay.
'zorro's skill' becomes 'swordplay' (I've seen this before).
'not primarily' means to remove the first letter.
'swordplay' with its initial letter removed is 'WORDPLAY'.

'what' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wordplay that I've seen before include "Puns etc" , "pun?" , "verbal shenanigans" , "Wit" , "Punning" .)
