Dance master able to cause embarrassment (9)
I believe the answer is:
discomfit
'cause embarrassment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'dance master able' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'disco' (disco can mean a dance event).
'master' becomes 'M' (common abbreviation eg MA, Master of Art).
'able' becomes 'fit' (similar in meaning).
'disco'+'m'+'fit'='DISCOMFIT'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discomfit that I've seen before include "Make uneasy or embarrassed" , "Upset" , "Embarrass" , "cause bafflement" , "Rattle" .)
