Finding out about odd bits of cheap jewellery (8)
I believe the answer is:
rumbling
'finding' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'about odd bits of cheap jewellery' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'odd' could be 'rum' (rum can mean strange or dubious) and 'rum' is present in the answer.
'jewellery' could be 'bling' (informal term for jewellery) and 'bling' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'out' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rumbling that I've seen is " Continuous deep noise like distant thunder".)
