Coronation coat rejected, furiously, seeing the type of adhesive crest they used (6)
I believe the answer is:
ironon
'the type of adhesive crest they used' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'coronation coat rejected furiously' is the wordplay.
'rejected' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'furiously' indicates an anagram (the letters move around energetically or furiously).
'coronation' with 'coat' removed is 'ronion'.
'ronion' with letters rearranged gives 'IRONON'.
'seeing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
