Henry, coming inside, is returning very cold (7)
I believe the answer is:
shivery
'cold' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'henry coming inside is returning very' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'coming inside' is an insertion indicator.
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'h' placed inside 'is' is 'ihs'.
'ihs' reversed gives 'shi'.
'shi'+'very'='SHIVERY'
(Another definition for shivery that I've seen is " Affected by cold".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
