Listen to this distortion (4)
I believe the answer is:
hist
'listen' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.
'this distortion' is the wordplay.
'distortion' indicates anagramming the letters.
'this' with letters rearranged gives 'HIST'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hist that I've seen is " Silence".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
