A love that's bad then good in authentic sort of film? (10)
I believe the answer is:
travelogue
'sort of film?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a love that's bad then good in authentic' is the wordplay.
'that's bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'then' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'authentic' becomes 'true' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'love'='alove'
'alove' with letters rearranged gives 'avelo'.
'avelo'+'g'='avelog'
'avelog' put into 'true' is 'TRAVELOGUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for travelogue that I've seen before include "Book about wanderings" , "Book, film, etc about visiting foreign parts" .)
