Doctor, I croak with cold — one's often seen at the bedside (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
clock radio
'one's often seen at the bedside' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'doctor i croak with cold' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'i'+'croak'='icroak'
'icroak' put after 'cold' is 'coldicroak'.
'coldicroak' is an anagram of 'CLOCK-RADIO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for clock radio that I've seen is " Alarm".)
