Greek character s-scarpered, wrapped in scarf? (7)
I believe the answer is:
muffled
'wrapped in scarf?' is the definition.
'muffled' can be an answer for 'wrapped' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'in scarf?' bit.
'greek character s-scarpered' is the wordplay.
'greek character' becomes 'mu' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
's-scarpered' becomes 'f-fled' ('fled' said with a stammer like 'scarpered' was).
'mu'+'ffled'='MUFFLED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for muffled that I've seen before include "Silenced; wrapped" , "Wrapped for warmth" , "Of sound, deadened or made indistinct" , "Wrapped (up), stifled" .)
