Latin dexterity, correct? Given to Eliot? (5-10)
I believe the answer is:
right-handedness
'latin dexterity' is the definition.
'right-handedness' can be an answer for 'dexterity' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'latin' bit.
'correct? given to eliot?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'correct?' could be 'right' (right can mean correct) and 'right' is found within the answer.
'given' could be 'handed' ('hand' can be a synonym of 'give') and 'handed' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ness' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for right-handedness that I've seen before include "Predominant manual preference" , "Attribute of normal screws" .)
