Small fall? (7)
I believe the answer is:
stumble
'small fall?' is the definition.
'stumble' can be an answer for 'fall?' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'small' bit.
'small fall?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is located in the answer.
'fall?' could be 'tumble' ('tumble' can be a synonym of 'fall') and 'tumble' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stumble that I've seen before include "Fall while walking or running" , "Falter" , "Momentarily trip" , "Slip - fall" , "Stagger" .)
