Famous wild ostrich roaming around island (8)
I believe the answer is:
historic
'famous' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ostrich roaming around island' is the wordplay.
'roaming' indicates an anagram.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'island' becomes 'i'.
'ostrich' with letters rearranged gives 'historc'.
'historc' going around 'i' is 'HISTORIC'.
'wild' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for historic that I've seen before include "Pertaining to what is important in the past" , "Important and/or old" , "remarkable" , "Epoch-making" , "sort of present" .)
