Beginning to stare at present put on rock in Wales (7)
I believe the answer is:
snowdon
'rock in wales' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'beginning to stare at present put on' is the wordplay.
'beginning to' indicates taking the first letters.
'at present' becomes 'now' (synonyms).
'put on' becomes 'don' (as in donning or putting on an item of clothing).
The first letter of 'stare' is 's'.
's'+'now'+'don'='SNOWDON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snowdon that I've seen before include "Highest Welsh peak" , "Highest mountain in Wales" , "Highest point of England and Wales" , "Welsh mountain" , "Highest peak in Wales" .)
