Did a nose so affected make breathing awkward? (8)
I believe the answer is:
adenoids
'affected make breathing awkward?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'did a nose' is the wordplay.
'did a nose' anagrams to 'ADENOIDS'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'so' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adenoids that I've seen before include "Tissues between back o fnose and throat, sometimes hinder breathing" , "These in the throat aided son" , "Enlarged spongy tissue between back of nose and throat" , "Enlarged spongy tissues between back of nose and throat" , "Glandular tissue at back of nose" .)
