Speak of how some toreador got tossed! (5)
I believe the answer is:
orate
'speak' is the definition.
(orating is a kind of speaking)
'of how some toreador got tossed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rte' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Harangue" , "Speak publicly" , "Lecture" , "Make a flowery speech" , "Speak in florid style" .)
