Adolescent from Italy and male friend eating curry, keen to leave? (8)
I believe the answer is:
immature
'adolescent' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'italy and male friend eating curry keen to leave?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'italy' could be 'i' and 'i' is found in the answer.
'male' could be 'm' (common abbreviation) and 'm' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mature' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for immature that I've seen before include "Like childish behaviour" , "Young" , "Not yet adult or fully developed" , "Not yet fully grown or developed" , "Undeveloped - unripe" .)
