Deny Ovid was involved in Metamorphoses (7)
I believe the answer is:
disavow
'deny' is the definition.
(disavowing is a kind of denying)
'ovid was involved in metamorphoses' is the wordplay.
'ovid was' anagrams to 'DISAVOW'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disavow that I've seen before include "To deny support" , "Disclaim" , "To deny knowledge of" , "Deny responsibility for (something)" , "Refuse to acknowledge" .)
