Can do no wrong - it simply can't be done! (7)
I believe the answer is:
nocando
'it simply can't be done' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'can do no wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'do'+'no'='candono'
'candono' is an anagram of 'NOCANDO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
