Lack of judgement from Einstein — dress wrinkled around top of collar (14)
I believe the answer is:
indiscreetness
'einstein dress wrinkled around top of collar' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'lack of judgement' is the wordplay.
'lack of' becomes 'in' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'judgement' becomes 'discreetness' (discreetness is a kind of judgement).
'in'+'discreetness'='INDISCREETNESS'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
