A refutation issued from home? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
flat denial
'home?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a refutation issued' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'refutation' could be 'denial' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'denial' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for flat denial that I've seen is " Absolutely untrue!".)
