Roam around after a scent (5)
I believe the answer is:
aroma
'a scent' is the definition.
('aroma' can be a synonym of 'scent')
'roam around after' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'after' becomes 'a' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'roam' anagrammed gives 'arom'.
'arom'+'a'='AROMA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "Perfume" , "Stink" , "particular charm" , "Pervasive atmosphere" , "Distinctive scent" .)
