Doctor with loyal heart looked upon without tears (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
dry-eyed
'without tears' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'doctor with loyal heart looked' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'heart' says to take the centre.
'looked' becomes 'eyed' (eyeing is a kind of looking).
The centre of 'loyal' is 'y'.
'dr'+'y'+'eyed'='DRY-EYED'
'upon' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dry-eyed that I've seen before include "Not crying" , "Unmoved" , "Tearless" , "Without a tear" .)
