Drawn-out speech given by doctor on law-breaking (5)
I believe the answer is:
drawl
'drawn-out speech' is the definition.
'drawl' can be an answer for 'speech' (I have seen 'Slow speech ' mean 'drawl' so perhaps 'speech' could also mean 'drawl'). I am not certain of the 'drawn-out' bit.
'doctor on law-breaking' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'breaking' indicates an anagram.
'law' is an anagram of 'awl'.
'dr' inserted within 'awl' is 'DRAWL'.
'given by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drawl that I've seen before include "Actor James Stewart's way of talking" , "Speak slowly and affectedly" , "Slow, protracted way of speaking" , "Speak lazily with long vowel sounds" , "Slow speech pattern" .)
