How French refusal makes band turn bad (3)
I believe the answer is:
non
'turn bad' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'how french refusal makes band' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'refusal' could be 'no' and 'no' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for non that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning negative" , "Combining form meaning not" , "Prefixed negation of a word" , "Negative French word" , "- - -stick" .)
