Youngster ate leg raw (6)
I believe the answer is:
eaglet
'youngster' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'ate leg raw' is the wordplay.
'ate leg' anagrams to 'EAGLET'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eaglet that I've seen before include "Young keen-sighted bird" , "A young bird of prey, lives in eyrie" , "Young lawyer" , "young flier?" , "Bird still in nest" .)
