Display of pain stifled by widow in cemetery (5)
I believe the answer is:
wince
'display' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pain stifled by widow in cemetery' is the wordplay.
'WINCE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wince that I've seen before include "Recoil with pain" , "Make face showing pain" , "Look disgusted" , "show embarrassment" , "React involuntarily from pain or embarrassment" .)
