Colourful chatterer's caress entertaining a debauchee (8)
I believe the answer is:
parakeet
'colourful chatterer's caress entertaining a debauchee' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'caress entertaining a debauchee' is the wordplay.
'caress' becomes 'pet' (petting is a kind of caressing).
'entertaining' indicates putting letters inside.
'debauchee' becomes 'rake' (rake is a kind of debauchee).
'a'+'rake'='arake'
'pet' placed around 'arake' is 'PARAKEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parakeet that I've seen before include "Flier" , "Colourful singer" , "Small long-tailed parrot" , "Take pear (anag) - bird" , "Small long-tailed bird" .)
