Apt to object to some poetry (6)
I believe the answer is:
averse
'apt' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'object to some poetry' is the wordplay.
'object' becomes 'A' (A is an example).
'to some poetry' becomes 'verse' (synonyms).
'a'+'verse'='AVERSE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for averse that I've seen before include "Not in favour of" , "Disinclined - as ever (anag)" , "A line of poetry is opposed" , "A piece of poetry is reluctant" , "Strongly opposed (to something)" .)
