Produce weapon and charge around (4)
I believe the answer is:
draw
'produce weapon' is the definition.
'draw' can be an answer for 'produce' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'weapon' bit.
'charge around' is the wordplay.
'charge' becomes 'ward' (both can mean a child in one's care).
'around' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'ward' back-to-front is 'DRAW'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for draw that I've seen before include "Make representation" , "Stalemate or tie" , "Sketch - tie" , "Snag" , "Take in (a breath), attraction" .)
