Disgusting to hug old taxmen with IT ability? (6)
I believe the answer is:
virile
'with it ability?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'disgusting to hug old taxmen' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'taxmen' could be 'ir' (abbreviation for Inland Revenue) and 'ir' is located in the answer.
'disgusting' could be 'vile' (I've seen this before) and 'vile' is found within the leftover letters.
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 virile that I've seen before include "Potent" , "Red-blooded" , "Vigorous, manly" , "male" , "Manly, strong" .)
