Dependent on setting one tax cut, unexpectedly large (10)
I believe the answer is:
contextual
'dependent on' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'one tax cut unexpectedly large' is the wordplay.
'unexpectedly' indicates an anagram.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'one'+'tax'+'cut'='onetaxcut'
'onetaxcut' with letters rearranged gives 'contextua'.
'contextua'+'l'='CONTEXTUAL'
'setting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for contextual that I've seen is " Relating to surrounding words".)
