Cartel due to change when covered with sores? (9)
I believe the answer is:
ulcerated
'covered with sores?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'cartel due to change' is the wordplay.
'to change' indicates an anagram.
'cartel'+'due'='carteldue'
'carteldue' is an anagram of 'ULCERATED'.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ulcerated that I've seen is " Cankerous".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
