General attitude of people in fishnet hosiery (5)
I believe the answer is:
ethos
'general attitude of people' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'in fishnet hosiery' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ETHOS' can be found hidden inside 'fishnet hosiery'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ethos that I've seen before include "moral code" , "Characteristic spirit, of a culture say" , "Distinctive spirit - character" , "Distinctive spirit of an institution" , "The distinctive spirit of a culture or an era" .)
