Disguises sample of flamenco Despacito (7)
I believe the answer is:
encodes
'disguises sample' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'of flamenco despacito' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ENCODES' can be found hidden inside 'flamenco despacito'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for encodes that I've seen is " Encrypts".)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
