What a swordsman does to deflect rapiers? (7)
I believe the answer is:
parries
'what a swordsman' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'to deflect rapiers?' is the wordplay.
'rapiers' can be anagrammed to 'PARRIES'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'does' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for parries that I've seen is " Wards off with rapiers".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
