Be bent on seeming humble (3)
I believe the answer is:
bow
This clue might be a double definition.
'be bent on seeming' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'humble' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bow that I've seen before include "Stoop" , "Front part of a ship" , "Bending in reverence or shame" , "Arc" , "Loose knot" .)
