A model enters nervous and pale (7)
I believe the answer is:
neutral
'pale' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a model enters nervous and' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'model' could be 't' (Ford Model T car) and 't' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neutral that I've seen before include "Not supporting or favouring either side" , "Inoffensive; beige colour" , "uncommitted to either side" , "Indifferent; not in gear" , "Supporting neither side" .)
