The English taking part in the outdoor show (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodeo
'show' is the definition.
(rodeo is a kind of show)
'the english taking part in the outdoor' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'part' could be 'do' (do is a kind of part) and 'do' is present in the leftover letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "Cowboys' riding contest" , "American show" , "Show with broncobusters" , "sort of exhibition" , "Drive in Beverly Hills" .)
