Corporation’s papers given inflated appearance (5)
I believe the answer is:
tumid
'inflated appearance' is the definition.
'tumid' can be an answer for 'inflated' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'appearance' bit.
'corporation's papers given' is the wordplay.
'corporation' becomes 'tum' ('corporation' can humorously mean belly fat).
'papers' becomes 'ID' (short for identification papers).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tum'+'id'='TUMID'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tumid that I've seen before include "Bloated" , "Abnormally swollen" , "Bulging" .)
