Striped rag? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tiger
'striped rag?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiger that I've seen before include "Ferocious cat" , "Cat; -- Woods" , "he got his stripes" , "Dynamo" , "Big cat of Asia" .)
