Clapped-out part from cherry-red Dodge is recycled (7)
I believe the answer is:
doddery
'clapped-out part' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'from cherry-red dodge is recycled' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'is recycled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'yreddod' is hidden in the letters of 'cherry red dodge'.
'yreddod' written backwards gives 'DODDERY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doddery that I've seen before include "Infirm with age" , "Rather senile" , "Old and feeble" , "Shaky" , "On one's last legs?" .)
