As usual, the battle to complete The Times cryptic crossword came down to working out how a word is built but not actually knowing that the resulting word is an actual word. Had 3 "guessed" words today, and had a 100% hit rate.
Hereros - a member of a Bantu people of central Namibia
protasis - Etymology: Late Latin, from Greek, premise of a syllogism, conditional clause
outwash - detritus chiefly consisting of gravel and sand carried by running water from the melting ice of a glacier and laid down in stratified deposits
Ah, the joys of cryptic crosswords!
