Like prices that have sharply risen? (5)
I believe the answer is:
steep
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steep that I've seen before include "Difficult" , "not reasonable" , "Without the bounds of moderation" , "Soak; expensive (price)" , "Sharply inclined" .)
