Like the invitation that came when you had flu? (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
ill-timed
This could be a double definition.
'like' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'invitation that came when you had flu?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ill-timed that I've seen before include "Done or occurring at an inconvenient moment" , "Inopportune" , "Happening at a badly chosen moment" , "Badly scheduled" .)
