Finally agrees and doctor vaccinates cat abandoned (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
caves in
'finally agrees' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'doctor vaccinates cat abandoned' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'abandoned' is a deletion indicator.
'vaccinates' with 'cat' taken out is 'vcinaes'.
'vcinaes' with letters rearranged gives 'CAVES IN'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
