A hag downing pint Dec ordered is likely to crash the broomstick! (8-5)
I believe the answer is:
accident-prone
'likely to crash the broomstick' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a hag downing pint dec ordered' is the wordplay.
'hag' becomes 'crone' (synonyms).
'downing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (to down food or drink is to swallow it quickly).
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'pint'+'dec'='pintdec'
'pintdec' anagrammed gives 'cidentp'.
'crone' going around 'cidentp' is 'ccidentprone'.
'a'+'ccidentprone'='ACCIDENT-PRONE'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accident-prone that I've seen before include "Given to misadventure" , "Clumsy" , "Susceptible to mishap" , "Involved in unusually frequent mishaps" , "Given to mishaps" .)
