Evidence of erosion around article to show impact of wind? (7)
I believe the answer is:
weather
'impact of wind?' is the definition.
'weather' can be an answer for 'wind?' (wind is a kind of weather). I am unsure of the 'impact of' bit.
'evidence of erosion around article' is the wordplay.
'evidence of erosion' becomes 'wear' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'wear' placed around 'the' is 'WEATHER'.
'to show' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weather that I've seen before include "ride out" , "Survive (ordeal); be worn away naturally" , "State of the atmosphere" , "Climatic conditions" , "Meteorological state" .)
