Is it committed in the heat of the moment? (5)
I believe the answer is:
arson
'is it committed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'in the heat of the moment?' is the wordplay.
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'heat of' becomes 'aron' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the moment?' becomes 's'.
'aron' placed around 's' is 'ARSON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "major crime" , "Pyromaniac crime" , "Crime involving fire" , "The act of firing" , "Act of a pyromaniac" .)
