Daughter putting on clothes after a talking to (10)
I believe the answer is:
addressing
'daughter putting on clothes after a talking to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'daughter putting on clothes after a' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'putting on clothes' becomes 'dressing' (I've seen this before).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'd'+'dressing'='ddressing'
'ddressing' after 'a' is 'ADDRESSING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for addressing that I've seen before include "Dealing with" , "Speaking to" , "job for 18 [ENVELOPE STUFFER]?" , "Flying activity" .)
