Eccentric afraid heir is light-headed? (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
fair-haired
'light-headed?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'eccentric afraid heir' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates anagramming the letters.
'afraid'+'heir'='afraidheir'
'afraidheir' anagrammed gives 'FAIR-HAIRED'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for fair-haired that I've seen is " Blond".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
