Describes type of recommendations that might not be accepted or is Davy wrong? (8)
I believe the answer is:
advisory
'describes type of recommendations that might not be accepted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'or is davy wrong?' is the wordplay.
'wrong?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'wrong' mean this).
'or'+'is'+'davy'='orisdavy'
'orisdavy' with letters rearranged gives 'ADVISORY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for advisory that I've seen before include "Recommended but not compulsory" , "Recommending" , "helping" , "Making recommendations" .)
