Continue to desire a licentious woman? (6)
I believe the answer is:
wanton
'a licentious woman?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'continue to desire' is the wordplay.
'continue' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'desire' becomes 'want' (synonyms).
'on' after 'want' is 'WANTON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wanton that I've seen before include "Thoughtlessly and unnecessarily cruel" , "uncalled-for" , "Dissolute - gratuitously cruel" , "Dissolute person" , "Dissolute and shameless" .)
