Easy line composed in academic success (8)
I believe the answer is:
painless
'easy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'line composed in academic success' is the wordplay.
'composed' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'academic success' becomes 'pass' (pass is a kind of success. I am not sure about the 'academic' bit.).
'line' is an anagram of 'inle'.
'inle' placed inside 'pass' is 'PAINLESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for painless that I've seen before include "Not causing suffering, like spaniels" , "Involving little effort or stress" , "Not causing discomfort" , "Trouble free" , "Needing little effort" .)
