English journalist catches new couple wrapped around each other (8)
I believe the answer is:
entwined
'wrapped around each other' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'english journalist catches new couple' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'catches' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'couple' becomes 'twin' (synonyms).
'e'+'ed'='eed'
'n'+'twin'='ntwin'
'eed' enclosing 'ntwin' is 'ENTWINED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entwined that I've seen before include "Wound together" , "Closely linked" , "Interlaced" , "Bound" .)
