Look weary and fall out of the ring (5)
I believe the answer is:
droop
'look weary' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fall out of the ring' is the wordplay.
'fall' becomes 'drop' (dropping is a kind of falling).
'out of' indicates putting letters inside (some letters on the outside of others).
'the ring' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring).
'drop' going around 'o' is 'DROOP'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for droop that I've seen before include "languish" , "Hang limply" , "be despondent" , "male problem?" , "Become limp" .)
