Exciting piece from Bremen (thus in German) (9)
I believe the answer is:
enthusing
'exciting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'piece from bremen thus in german' is the wordplay.
'piece' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ENTHUSING' is hidden within 'from bremen thus in german'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for enthusing that I've seen is " Being full of praise for hugest inn".)
