Fancy South American reportedly grabbed quick kiss (7)
I believe the answer is:
suspect
'fancy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'south american reportedly grabbed quick kiss' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'south' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is found in the answer.
'american' could be 'us' (abbreviation for United States) and 'us' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suspect that I've seen before include "One thought to have committed crime" , "Fishy" , "Possible perpetrator of a crime" , "Doubt innocence of" , "Presume" .)
