Bothering about some jewellery (6)
I believe the answer is:
caring
'bothering' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with human feelings as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'about some jewellery' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'ca' (short for circa).
'some 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" , "Tender, warm" , "Protective or concerned" , "Feeling concern/interest" , "Kind, affectionate" .)
