Lavish affection on those accommodating lawyer in the latter stages of life (6)
I believe the answer is:
dotage
'accommodating lawyer in the latter stages of life' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'lavish affection on those' is the wordplay.
'lavish affection' becomes 'dote' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'those' becomes 'ag' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dote' going around 'ag' is 'DOTAGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dotage that I've seen before include "In which one would be old and weak" , "Senile years" , "Mental infirmity in old age" , "Senile stage" , "Foolish infatuation" .)
