Continue to lament the dead being devoted (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
keen on
'dead being devoted' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'continue to lament' 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).
'lament' becomes 'keen' (synonyms).
'on' put after 'keen' is 'KEEN ON'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
