Acts like a farrier and drives off noisily (5)
I believe the answer is:
shoes
'acts like a farrier' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'drives off noisily' is the wordplay.
'drives off' becomes 'shoos' (shooing is a kind of driving off).
'noisily' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'shoos' is a homophone of 'SHOES'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shoes that I've seen before include "Brogues, pumps, etc" , "Items of footwear" , "Song made famous by Simon and Garfunkel" .)
