Glare vile yet arresting? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
evil eye
'glare' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'vile yet arresting?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'vile' is 'evil' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eye' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evil eye that I've seen before include "Look supposed to have the power to harm" , "Gaze superstitiously thought to bring harm" , "Hex look" , "Supposedly harmful stare" , "Malevolent look" .)
