Bold article about Brad Pitt ending with leading verb (7)
I believe the answer is:
valiant
'bold' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'article about brad pitt ending with leading verb' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'about brad' becomes 'lian' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ending' indicates one should take the final letters (the ending of the word).
'with leading' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'verb' becomes 'v' (abbreviation used in dictionaries).
The final letter of 'pitt' is 't'.
'a'+'lian'+'t'='aliant'
'aliant' after 'v' is 'VALIANT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
