Got a new parent for kid (4)
I believe the answer is:
goat
'for kid' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'got a new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'got'+'a'='gota'
'gota' with letters rearranged gives 'GOAT'.
'parent' is the 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 goat that I've seen before include "Domesticated animal supplying milk, meat and wool" , "Beast (of Capricorn)" , "nanny, for example" , "beast with sharp horns" , "foolish person" .)
