Introducing Bill Giles, right about melting ice? (8)
I believe the answer is:
glaciers
'introducing bill giles right about melting ice?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'introducing bill giles right about' is the wordplay.
'introducing' is an insertion indicator (some letters introduced or inserted into others).
'bill' becomes 'ac' (short for account).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'giles'+'r'='gilesr'
'gilesr' is an anagram of 'gliers'.
'ac' placed within 'gliers' is 'GLACIERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glaciers that I've seen before include "Slowly moving masses of ice" , "Slow moving masses of ice" , "Slowly moving ice sheets" , "Slowly-moving ice-masses" , "Slow-moving masses of ice" .)
