Edits songs displaying tedium (10)
I believe the answer is:
stodginess
'tedium' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'edits songs displaying' is the wordplay.
'displaying' indicates anagramming the letters (the anagrammed letters display the answer).
'edits'+'songs'='editssongs'
'editssongs' anagrammed gives 'STODGINESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
