Appeal result on time, rolling show-off? (7)
I believe the answer is:
retrial
'appeal' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'on time rolling show-off?' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 'ret' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rolling show off?' becomes 'rial' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ret' next to 'rial' is 'RETRIAL'.
'result' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for retrial that I've seen before include "Second court hearing" , "Revived case" , "Further action" , "Hearing repeat" , "test, after failure in first" .)
