A French skater limps on, somehow, competing poorly? (15)
I believe the answer is:
unsportsmanlike
'a french skater limps on somehow competing poorly?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'a french skater limps on somehow' is the wordplay.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'skater'+'limps'+'on'='skaterlimpson'
'skaterlimpson' with letters rearranged gives 'sportsmanlike'.
'un'+'sportsmanlike'='UNSPORTSMANLIKE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unsportsmanlike that I've seen before include "Sneaky" , "as most female athletes are essentially?" , "Like going for a trip when playing football" , "unfair" , "Not cricket" .)
