Appearing shocked by deficit in part of hospital (5)
I believe the answer is:
This could be a double definition.
'appearing shocked by deficit in' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'part of hospital' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for agape that I've seen before include "showing disbelief", "Astonished", "ecclesiastical feast", "the love of God!", "love a Christian shows".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
