Carbuncle or stye? (7)
I believe the answer is:
eyesore
This clue could be a double definition.
'carbuncle' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stye?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyesore that I've seen before include "ugly feature" , "It's offensively ugly" , "Ugly and offensive sight" , "something one wouldn't want to see" , "it looks bad" .)
