Dexterity gets audible insult (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
sleight
'dexterity' is the definition.
(I know that dexterity can be written as sleight)
'audible insult' is the wordplay.
'audible' shows a homophone (sound like).
'insult' becomes ''slight' (I've seen this before).
'slight' is a homophone of 'SLEIGHT'.
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sleight that I've seen before include "Dexterity (usually of hand)" , "It's deceiving to the eye" , "distraction?" , "Artful trick" , "Hits leg (anag) - cunning" .)
