Framework in novel Ken reworked (8)
I believe the answer is:
skeleton
'framework' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skeleton that I've seen before include "emaciated type" , "one doesn't want found in cupboard" , "Framework, outline" , "Hidden scandal (in a cupboard?)" , "Bones of a body" .)
