Columns or rows displaying possible impact of loss? (6)
I believe the answer is:
sorrow
'possible impact of loss?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'columns or rows displaying' is the wordplay.
'displaying' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SORROW' is hidden in the letters of 'columns or rows'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sorrow that I've seen before include "Sadness,regret" , "'Sadness, grief (6)'" , "'One magpie for ..., two for joy (6)'" , "Expression of grief" , "Woe" .)
