Charming soldier still not finished chasing mum (7)
I believe the answer is:
magical
'charming' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'soldier still not finished chasing mum' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'soldier' could be 'gi' (term for US soldier) and 'gi' is present in the answer.
'mum' could be 'ma' (both can mean mother) and 'ma' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cal' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for magical that I've seen before include "Occult, supernatural" , "Charming" , "miraculous!" , "Enchanting; wonderful" , "Fascinating - occult" .)
