Could such examination lead to damnation? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cursory
'examination lead to damnation?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'could such' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'such' could be 'so' and 'so' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'curry' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cursory that I've seen before include "Hasty, not thorough" , "Superficial - ours cry (anag)" , "Hasty and without attention" , "Hasty and superficial" , "Like a quick examination" .)
