Describes what is apparent in perverse sex (8)
I believe the answer is:
explains
'describes what' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'apparent in perverse sex' is the wordplay.
'apparent' becomes 'plain' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'perverse' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sex' is an anagram of 'exs'.
'plain' inserted into 'exs' is 'EXPLAINS'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for explains that I've seen before include "Deciphers" , "Makes something clear" , "Breaks down" , "Spells out" , "Gives reasons for" .)
