Some revolting eyesore that's attached to the ceiling (4)
I believe the answer is:
rose
'attached to the ceiling' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'some revolting eyesore that's' is the wordplay.
'revolting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'esor' is hidden within 'eyesore that'.
'esor' written backwards gives 'ROSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "Doctor Who's recent companion" , "18 [ROSE]" , "beauty" , "Fragrant flower" , "moved from seat?" .)
