Flashy guy suffering key interruptions (5)
I believe the answer is:
gaudy
This clue might be a double definition.
'flashy' is the first definition.
('gaudy' can be a synonym of 'flashy')
'guy suffering key interruptions' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gaudy that I've seen before include "celebrations in college" , "Extravagantly showy; college function" , "Vulgarly bright" , "Flashy" , "Tawdry" .)
