Happy with extraordinary pub lunch? (6)
I believe the answer is:
upbeat
'happy' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'with extraordinary pub lunch?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'extraordinary' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lunch?' becomes 'eat' (to lunch can mean to eat lunch).
'pub' with letters rearranged gives 'upb'.
'upb' next to 'eat' is 'UPBEAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upbeat that I've seen before include "Promising" , "Relentlessly optimistic" , "maestro communicates this to orchestra" , "Cheerful and positive, as in music" , "Heartening" .)
