Versatile eccentric pulls a rope (3-7)
I believe the answer is:
all-purpose
'versatile' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'eccentric pulls a rope' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates an anagram.
'pulls'+'a'+'rope'='pullsarope'
'pullsarope' anagrammed gives 'ALL-PURPOSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for all-purpose that I've seen is " Useful in many ways".)
