Critical wife, seeing wee in your cups? (7)
I believe the answer is:
waspish
'critical' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waspish that I've seen before include "Pshaw, is like a stinging insect" , "irascible" , "Easily-provoked" , "Sharp and irritable like stinging insect" , "stingy?" .)
