Fury: is it on reflection something many check regularly? (9)
I believe the answer is:
tisiphone
'fury' is the definition.
(I know that Tisiphone is a type of fury)
'is it on reflection something many check regularly?' is the wordplay.
'on reflection' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'something many check regularly?' becomes 'phone' (you might check a mobile phone).
'is'+'it'='isit'
'isit' written backwards gives 'tisi'.
'tisi'+'phone'='TISIPHONE'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
