Hurt, I came for treatment of joint pain? (9)
I believe the answer is:
rheumatic
'joint pain?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'hurt i came for treatment' is the wordplay.
'for treatment' indicates anagramming the letters (the anagram must be processed or treated).
'hurt'+'i'+'came'='hurticame'
'hurticame' with letters rearranged gives 'RHEUMATIC'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rheumatic that I've seen before include "Like some painful muscles and joints" , "of specific aches" , "inflammatory complaint" , "Suffering from join and muscle pain" , "Affected by an inflammatory disease" .)
