Doctor is Mary ill in the same way? (9)
I believe the answer is:
similarly
'in the same way?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'doctor is mary ill' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'mary'+'ill'='ismaryill'
'ismaryill' is an anagram of 'SIMILARLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for similarly that I've seen is " In like manner".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
