Packed fur at great speed (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
full pelt
'great speed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'packed fur' is the wordplay.
'packed' becomes 'full' (synonyms).
'fur' becomes 'pelt' (synonyms).
'full'+'pelt'='FULL-PELT'
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for full pelt that I've seen is " As fast as possible".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
