Guy investing in UK currency losing pounds, being dissipated (10)
I believe the answer is:
scattering
'guy investing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in uk currency losing pounds being dissipated' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'being' could be 'cat' (cat is a kind of being) and 'cat' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scattering that I've seen before include "Throwing in various directions" , "Strewing" .)
