Frightening experience making German hit out? (9)
I believe the answer is:
nightmare
'frightening experience' is the definition.
'nightmare' can be an answer for 'experience' (I have seen 'Horrifying experience' mean 'nightmare' so perhaps 'experience' could also mean 'nightmare'). I am not sure about the 'frightening' bit.
'german hit out?' is the wordplay.
'out?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'out of' mean this).
'german'+'hit'='germanhit'
'germanhit' anagrammed gives 'NIGHTMARE'.
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nightmare that I've seen before include "It makes one restless" , "Frightening dream" , "Frightening nocturnal fantasy" , "Horror" , "Scary nocturnal fantasy" .)
