How four in five is resolute? (9)
I believe the answer is:
ironbound
This could be a double definition.
'how four in five' is the first definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.
'resolute?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ironbound that I've seen is " inflexible".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
