Demonstrated child accepts husband and wife being divorced (5)
I believe the answer is:
shown
'demonstrated' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'child accepts husband and wife being divorced' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'husband' could be 'h' and 'h' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'wife' could be 'so' (abbreviation for significant other) and 'so' is found in the remaining letters.
A single letter 'w' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shown that I've seen before include "Exhibited" , "Demonstrated" , "Explained" , "Displayed" .)
