Dour, sour, nasty - like excrement? (8)
I believe the answer is:
ordurous
'excrement?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.
'dour sour nasty' is the wordplay.
'nasty' is an anagram indicator.
'dour'+'sour'='doursour'
'doursour' is an anagram of 'ORDUROUS'.
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
