Bit of delicate bone jewellery coming in droplets (9)
I believe the answer is:
dribbling
'coming in droplets' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bit of delicate bone jewellery' is the wordplay.
'bit of' says to take the initial letters.
'bone' becomes 'rib' (rib is a kind of bone).
'jewellery' becomes 'bling' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'delicate' is 'd'.
'd'+'rib'+'bling'='DRIBBLING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dribbling that I've seen before include "the art of a footballer?" , "Acting like a baby" , "Talent of an infant" , "playing football?" .)
