For "odd", the usual clue, I interposed, is "strange" (8)
I believe the answer is:
peculiar
'strange' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'for odd the usual clue i interposed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'clue' is 'ecul' which is located in the answer.
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peculiar that I've seen before include "Odd - individual" , "Odd, rum, funny" , "'Curious, odd (8)'" , "'Strange, odd (8)'" , "Unusual" .)
