Female student pinches a kiss and is won round by flattery (6)
I believe the answer is:
coaxed
'is won round by flattery' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'female student pinches a kiss' is the wordplay.
'female student' becomes 'co-ed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pinches' means one lot of letters goes inside another (pinch can mean to steal).
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'a'+'x'='ax'
'coed' enclosing 'ax' is 'COAXED'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coaxed that I've seen before include "Cajoled, inveigled" , "Wheedled, cajoled" , "Induced" , "Persuaded by fondling or flattery" , "Persuaded gently" .)
