Bible story about fellow deserving forgiveness (10)
I believe the answer is:
pardonable
'bible story about fellow deserving forgiveness' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bible story about fellow' is the wordplay.
'bible story' becomes 'parable' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'fellow' becomes 'don' (both can mean an academic).
'parable' going around 'don' is 'PARDONABLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pardonable that I've seen before include "likely to go unpunished?" , "venial" , "That may be forgiven" , "not deserving censure" , "Excusable" .)
