Inconsiderate and crafty when about to turn right? (5)
I believe the answer is:
surly
'inconsiderate' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'crafty when about to turn right?' is the wordplay.
'crafty' becomes 'sly' (sly can mean crafty or cunning).
'when about' is an insertion indicator.
'to turn' becomes 'U' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'right?' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'u'+'r'='ur'
'sly' enclosing 'ur' is 'SURLY'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for surly that I've seen before include "Ill-tempered, unfriendly" , "Grumpily bad-tempered" , "Ill-natured" , "Gruff and grumpy" , "Bad-tempered, unfriendly" .)
