Crossword Genius

Strong pet not tamed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

potent

'strong' is the definition.
('potent' can be a synonym of 'strong')

'pet not tamed' is the wordplay.
'tamed' is an anagram indicator.
'pet'+'not'='petnot'
'petnot' anagrammed gives 'POTENT'.

(Other definitions for potent that I've seen before include "Powerful or effective" , "Having great power" , "Intoxicating" , "Strong in operation" , "Mighty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
