Cite problem after keyboard is fake (9)
I believe the answer is:
synthetic
'is fake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cite problem after keyboard' is the wordplay.
'problem' is an anagram indicator.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'keyboard' becomes 'synth' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cite' with letters rearranged gives 'etic'.
'etic' put after 'synth' is 'SYNTHETIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for synthetic that I've seen before include "Fake" , "Manufactured, not produced naturally - say material" , "ersatz" , "Artificially produced" , "Artificially made" .)
