Eating pips - terribly tempting (10)
I believe the answer is:
appetising
'tempting' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are present participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'eating pips terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eating'+'pips'='eatingpips'
'eatingpips' with letters rearranged gives 'APPETISING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appetising that I've seen before include "Mouth-watering" , "Tasty" .)
