Canoe features striking scaffolding erector (9)
I believe the answer is:
outrigger
'canoe features' is the definition.
'outrigger' can be an answer for 'canoe' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'features' bit.
'striking scaffolding erector' is the wordplay.
'striking' becomes 'out' (striking out is a common phrase).
'scaffolding erector' becomes 'rigger' (I've seen this before).
'out'+'rigger'='OUTRIGGER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outrigger that I've seen before include "Craft" , "Canoe with stabilisers" , "Projecting stabiliser" , "Beam" , "Type of boat with external supports" .)
