Found in aspic, a trail of a hanger-on (11)
I believe the answer is:
parasitical
'found in aspic a trail of a hanger-on' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'found in aspic a trail' is the wordplay.
'found in' indicates an anagram.
'aspic'+'a'+'trail'='aspicatrail'
'aspicatrail' with letters rearranged gives 'PARASITICAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for parasitical that I've seen is " Lousy".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
