Character attracted to most significant of crimes, antisocial behaviour? (9)
I believe the answer is:
noisiness
'antisocial behaviour?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'character attracted to most significant of crimes' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'character' could be 'sin' (sin is a kind of character) and 'sin' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noisiness that I've seen before include "The racket" , "Clamour" , "conspicuous quality" , "Decibel reading" .)
