Saintly name for the wanderer (5)
I believe the answer is:
stray
'the wanderer' is the definition.
'saintly name' is the wordplay.
'saintly' becomes 'st' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'name' becomes 'ray'.
'st'+'ray'='STRAY'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stray that I've seen before include "Wander off course" , "digress" , "Wander from the path" , "Waif and - -" , "Wander; be unfaithful" .)
