Bothering about jewellery (6)
I believe the answer is:
caring
'bothering' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with human feelings as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'about jewellery' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'jewellery' becomes 'ring' (ring is a kind of jewellery).
'ca'+'ring'='CARING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caring that I've seen before include "Solicitous" , "medical profession" , "Kind-hearted" , "Compassionate" , "Showing compassion" .)
