Innately study info linked to large country houses (12)
I believe the answer is:
congenitally
'innately' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'study info linked to large country houses' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'study' could be 'con' (con can informally mean to study) and 'con' is located in the answer.
'info' could be 'gen' (informal term for information) and 'gen' is found within the answer.
'large' could be 'tall' (both can mean big) and 'tall' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
