Trip over details with gay abandon? (6)
I believe the answer is:
voyage
'trip' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'over details with gay abandon?' is the wordplay.
'over details' becomes 'voe' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'abandon?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'abandoned' mean this).
'gay' with letters rearranged gives 'yag'.
'voe' placed around 'yag' is 'VOYAGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for voyage that I've seen before include "Long journey by sea or air" , "See 7" , "Cruise - passage" , "Journey by air or water" , "Sea or space journey" .)
