Now rig strangely for moving through water (6)
I believe the answer is:
rowing
'moving through water' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'now rig strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'now'+'rig'='nowrig'
'nowrig' is an anagram of 'ROWING'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rowing that I've seen before include "in dispute" , "Olympic event" , "Aquatic sport" , "Propelling boat with oars" , "Olympic sport; arguing" .)
