Type of image, say, taken by local (8)
I believe the answer is:
negative
'type of image' is the definition.
'negative' can be an answer for 'image' (I have seen 'Reversed image ' mean 'negative' so perhaps 'image' could also mean 'negative'). I am not certain of the 'type of' bit.
'say taken by local' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'taken by' is an insertion indicator.
'local' becomes 'native' (relating to a particular area).
'eg' going into 'native' is 'NEGATIVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for negative that I've seen before include "Reply of denial" , "Reversed-colours photo" , "Snap out of it? Yes" , "Less than positive" , "image for a developer" .)
