Fight to include part of best rug gleaming (8)
I believe the answer is:
struggle
'fight' is the definition.
(I know that fight can be written as struggle)
'of best rug gleaming' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'STRUGGLE' is hidden in the letters of 'best rug gleaming'.
'to include part' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for struggle that I've seen before include "Vie" , "Try hard to get free - labour" , "Make one's way with great difficulty" , "Progress with difficulty" , "Contend with difficulty" .)
