Groom gets nothing in it in an arranged marriage (11)
I believe the answer is:
combination
'marriage' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'groom gets nothing in it in an arranged' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'groom' could be 'comb' (combing is a way of grooming oneself) and 'comb' is found in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'o' (looks like zero - 0) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found within the answer.
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'an' 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 combination that I've seen before include "Mixture" , "Items joined together" , "Amalgamation" , "Union - coalescence" , "Mix" .)
