Diminutive couple in line for a number of points? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dotted
'diminutive' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dotted that I've seen before include "Having a pattern of small round marks" , "Often the line to sign on" , "...the Is and crossed the Ts" , "Sign on this line to authorise" , "in the form of ellipses" .)
