Georgia accepts inexperienced driver, one in another state coldly hostile (7)
I believe the answer is:
glacial
'hostile' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'georgia accepts inexperienced driver one in another state coldly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'state' could be 'cal' (short for California) and 'cal' is located in the leftover letters.
'inexperienced driver' could be 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'georgia' could be 'ga' (abbreviation) and 'ga' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glacial that I've seen before include "Of slow moving ice masses" , "Ice cold" , "Relating to ice" , "Pertaining to the ice ages" , "Frigid" .)
