Cate in trouble? Descended from the same mother? (6)
I believe the answer is:
enatic
'from the same mother?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'cate in trouble?' is the wordplay.
'trouble?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'trouble' mean this).
'cate'+'in'='catein'
'catein' anagrammed gives 'ENATIC'.
'descended' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for enatic that I've seen is " Growing out".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
