What surfer may use, having disturbed the sea-eagle close to nest (8)
I believe the answer is:
ethernet
'what surfer may use' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'disturbed the sea-eagle close to nest' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'sea-eagle' becomes 'erne' (I've seen this before).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The last letter of 'nest' is 't'.
'the' with letters rearranged gives 'eth'.
'eth'+'erne'+'t'='ETHERNET'
'having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ethernet that I've seen before include "System connecting several computers" , "Communication system" , "comms system" , "Computer system" , "food" .)
