Sentence fragment from drunken sherpa (6)
I believe the answer is:
phrase
'sentence fragment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'drunken sherpa' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sherpa' anagrammed gives 'PHRASE'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for phrase that I've seen before include "Mode of expression" , "Seraph (anag.)" , "Word (in a particular way)" , "Present" , "Sherpa (anag)" .)
