Apply skin cream -- or misuse it stupidly? (10)
I believe the answer is:
moisturise
'apply skin cream' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'or misuse it stupidly?' is the wordplay.
'stupidly?' is an anagram indicator (a stupid ordering of the letters).
'or'+'misuse'+'it'='ormisuseit'
'ormisuseit' with letters rearranged gives 'MOISTURISE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
