Impressive understanding has moved husband (8)
I believe the answer is:
emphatic
'impressive' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emphatic that I've seen before include "Forceful and definite" , "Forceful in expression" , "In no uncertain terms" , "For sure" , "Categorical" .)
