What leads Veronica into temptation? Affection, ironically (5)
I believe the answer is:
lurve
'affection ironically' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'what leads veronica into temptation?' is the wordplay.
'what leads' indicates taking the first letters.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'temptation?' becomes 'lure' (lure is a kind of temptation).
The initial letter of 'veronica' is 'v'.
'v' placed within 'lure' is 'LURVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lurve that I've seen is " Yuck".)
