Irritating complaint in German written out twice? (5)
I believe the answer is:
mange
'irritating complaint' is the definition.
'mange' can be an answer for 'complaint' (mange is a kind of disease). I am unsure of the 'irritating' bit.
'german written out twice?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'german' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mane' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mange that I've seen before include "disease results" , "Skin disease of mammals" , "may have to deal with this" , "Domestic animals may find it very irritating" , "skin problem" .)
