Having a complex kitchen appliance I coated in copper (6)
I believe the answer is:
phobic
'having a complex kitchen' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'appliance i coated in copper' is the wordplay.
'appliance' becomes 'hob' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'coated in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'copper' becomes 'PC' (police constable).
'hob'+'i'='hobi'
'hobi' inserted inside 'pc' is 'PHOBIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for phobic that I've seen before include "suffering morbid fear" , "With an irrational fear" , "Suffering irrational fears" .)
