Strong enough to shoot and bust the net? (6)
I believe the answer is:
potent
'strong' is the definition.
(I know that strong can be written as potent)
'shoot and bust the net?' is the wordplay.
'shoot' becomes 'pot' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bust' indicates anagramming the letters.
'net' anagrammed gives 'ent'.
'pot'+'ent'='POTENT'
'enough to' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for potent that I've seen before include "Strong in operation" , "Strong or effective" , "Concentrated or strong, like liquor" , "Maybe overpowering" , "Top Ten (anag.)" .)
