About perception of sound from car by English party member (8)
I believe the answer is:
auditory
'about perception' is the definition.
'auditory' can be an answer for 'perception' (auditory perception is a kind of perception). I'm not sure about the 'about' bit.
'sound from car by english party member' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'car' could be 'audi' (audi is a german car brand) and 'audi' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'try' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for auditory that I've seen before include "Relating to hearing" , "as one hears" , "Related to the sense of hearing" , "Via the ears" .)
