I run away from criminal suspect with hostile attitude (8)
I believe the answer is:
inimical
'i run away from criminal suspect with hostile attitude' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'i run away from criminal suspect' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'away from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator.
'criminal' with 'r' taken out is 'ciminal'.
'ciminal' with letters rearranged gives 'nimical'.
'i'+'nimical'='INIMICAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inimical that I've seen before include "'Unfriendly, hostile (8)'" , "Pernicious" , "Hostile, unfavourable" , "opposed" , "Adverse" .)
