A nightdress seen poorly with this? (4-11)
I believe the answer is:
near-sightedness
'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a nightdress seen poorly' is the wordplay.
'poorly' indicates an anagram (a poor spelling).
'a'+'nightdress'+'seen'='anightdressseen'
'anightdressseen' is an anagram of 'NEAR-SIGHTEDNESS'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
