English doctor arranged doses with superior effect? (8)
I believe the answer is:
embossed
'english doctor arranged doses with superior effect?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'english doctor arranged doses' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'doctor' becomes 'mb' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus).
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'doses' is an anagram of 'ossed'.
'e'+'mb'+'ossed'='EMBOSSED'
Can you help me to learn more?
