Dig round memorial in upright state (7)
I believe the answer is:
probity
This clue could be a double definition.
'dig' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'memorial in upright state' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'round' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for probity that I've seen before include "Honesty, decency" , "integrity's demanded" , "uprightness" , "Integrity" .)
