Keeping to the act? (3-7)
I believe the answer is:
law-abiding
'keeping to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'act?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'act?' could be 'din' (din is a kind of act) and 'din' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
