Times regularly queried showing synth-pop duo (7)
I believe the answer is:
erasure
'synth-pop duo' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'times regularly queried' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'eras' (an era is a time or period).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'queried' are 'ure'.
'eras'+'ure'='ERASURE'
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for erasure that I've seen before include "Censorship" , "Effect of surface damage" , "Band with Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, or wipe-out" , "Process of rubbing out" , "group from the 80s" .)
