Difficulties due to slight collisions? (7)
I believe the answer is:
scrapes
This clue might be a double definition.
'difficulties' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'slight collisions?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'due to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scrapes that I've seen before include "Predicaments" , "Jars" .)
