Bad way to start my statement of intent (3)
I believe the answer is:
ill
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'bad' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)
'way to start my statement of intent' is the second definition.
('I'll' or 'I will' can begin a statement of intent)
(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "Out of sorts" , "Shakespeare: '. . . met by moonlight'" , "reduced state" , "Wicked" , "Indisposed" .)
