Irregular resorts with woman doctor switched dogmatic conclusion (9)
I believe the answer is:
spasmodic
'irregular' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'resorts with woman doctor switched dogmatic conclusion' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'resorts' could be 'spas' (spa is a kind of resort) and 'spas' is located in the answer.
'woman' could be 'di' (short for Diana) and 'di' is found within the answer.
'doctor' could be 'mo' (medical officer) and 'mo' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'c' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spasmodic that I've seen before include "Intermittent" , "fitfully" , "Done in short bursts" , "Done in brief irregular bursts" , "Occasional" .)
