Line dropped from fashion — problem for looker? (4)
I believe the answer is:
stye
'problem for looker?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'line dropped from fashion' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'dropped from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'fashion' becomes 'style' (synonyms).
'style' with 'l' taken away is 'STYE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stye that I've seen before include "Eye blemish" , "Inflammation on eyelid" , "Viewer's complaint" , "nasty spot" , "Inflamed swelling on the edge of an eyelid" .)
