Improving inn with change following refurbishment (9)
I believe the answer is:
enhancing
'following refurbishment' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'improving inn with change' is the wordplay.
'improving' is an anagram indicator (letters must be sorted out or rectified).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'inn'+'change'='innchange'
'innchange' with letters rearranged gives 'ENHANCING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enhancing that I've seen before include "Intensifying" , "Adding something extra to make it better" , "Improving the value of (something)" , "Improving the quality (of something)" , "Making more attractive" .)
