Protrude with fat spreading around (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
stand out
'protrude' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'with fat spreading around' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is present in the answer.
'fat' could be 'stout' (similar in meaning) and 'stout' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stand out that I've seen before include "Refuse to agree - project" , "Be particularly noticeable" , "Be highly noticeable" , "Don't agree to - project" , "Be conspicuous, or persist in demand" .)
