Humerus, not humerous! (9)
I believe the answer is:
funnybone
'humerous' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'humerus not' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'not' could be 'un' (prefix meaning 'not') and 'un' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
