As opposed to dry, in a sense? (6)
I believe the answer is:
chesty
'dry in a sense?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chesty that I've seen before include "well busted?" , "Having congested lungs" , "with a big top" , "with a prominent top" , "a cougher?)" .)
