Like a point dishonestly claimed? (7)
I believe the answer is:
decimal
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a point dishonestly claimed?' is the wordplay.
'claimed' can be anagrammed to 'DECIMAL'.
But, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for decimal that I've seen before include "fraction" , "System based on 10" , "Claimed (anag) - a point" , "Using powers of ten" , "System based on ten" .)
