Flipping bounder right to leave garment, possibly Nike (7)
I believe the answer is:
goddess
'nike' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'flipping bounder right to leave garment' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'leave' could be 'go' (to go is to depart or leave) and 'go' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'possibly' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for goddess that I've seen before include "Divine female" , "Minerva, for example" , "Eg, Aphrodite" , "Aphrodite, for example" , "Female deity" .)
