Fancy tea parties outside Bostonian industry end in trouble (9)
I believe the answer is:
elaborate
'fancy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'tea parties outside bostonian industry end in trouble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'tea' is 'ate' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elaborate that I've seen before include "Complicated - complex" , "Polish" , "Complicated, with many parts or details" , "Intricate - ornament" , "Give more details" .)
