Lacking justification, as dispossessed cricket club may be? (10)
I believe the answer is:
groundless
'cricket club may be?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'lacking justification as dispossessed' is the wordplay.
'lacking' means to remove the last letter (the word is incomplete or lacking).
'justification' becomes 'grounds' (I've seen this in another clue).
'as dispossessed' becomes 'less' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'grounds' with its final letter taken away is 'ground'.
'ground'+'less'='GROUNDLESS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for groundless that I've seen before include "Without justification" , "Without good reason" .)
