Hatred of English assessment — a time I get kept in by lecturer? (11)
I believe the answer is:
detestation
'hatred' is the definition.
(I know that detestation is a type of hatred)
'english assessment a time i get kept in by lecturer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'assessment' could be 'test' (test is a kind of assessment) and 'test' is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
'i' is within the answer.
'lecturer?' could be 'don' (don can mean an academic) and 'don' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for detestation that I've seen before include "Loathing" , "Hatred" , "hostility" , "anathema!" , "Hate" .)
