From son, any gift is terribly pleasing (10)
I believe the answer is:
satisfying
'terribly pleasing' is the definition.
'satisfying' can be an answer for 'pleasing' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'terribly' bit.
'from son any gift is' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (from the letters).
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
's'+'any'+'gift'+'is'='sanygiftis'
'sanygiftis' is an anagram of 'SATISFYING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for satisfying that I've seen before include "filling" , "Meeting (needs, etc)" , "Pleasurable" , "Fulfilling (a need)" , "Cool" .)
