Ability to succeed in all one's endeavours comes from Military Intelligence fathers' sense? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
midas touch
'ability' is the definition.
(I know that Midas touch is a type of ability)
'to succeed in all one's endeavours comes from military intelligence fathers' sense?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
'one's' could be 'as' (a thing is one thing) and 'as' is present in the answer.
'intelligence' could be 'mi' and 'mi' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for midas touch that I've seen before include "Financial aptitude" , "financial talent" , "Lucrative ability" .)
