Frightened about Romeo getting visibly blemished (7)
I believe the answer is:
scarred
'visibly blemished' is the definition.
'scarred' can be an answer for 'blemished' (similar in meaning). I'm not certain of the 'visibly' bit.
'frightened about romeo' is the wordplay.
'frightened' becomes 'scared' (scared means frightened or fearful).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'scared' placed around 'r' is 'SCARRED'.
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scarred that I've seen before include "Bearing the marks of wounds" , "Blemished" , "Flawed" , "bearing evidence of injury" , "Marked for life" .)
