Awful anger that consuming drink is inflaming (8)
I believe the answer is:
enraging
'inflaming' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with human feelings as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'awful anger that consuming drink' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'that consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'drink' becomes 'gin' (gin is an alcoholic drink).
'anger' is an anagram of 'enrag'.
'enrag' placed around 'gin' is 'ENRAGING'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enraging that I've seen before include "Annoying" , "Driving to anger" , "Infuriating" .)
