Look at interior of renovated maisonette, scorning mat (7)
I believe the answer is:
seeinto
'maisonette scorning mat' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'look at interior of renovated' is the wordplay.
'look at' becomes 'seein' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'interior of' means to look at the middle letters.
'renovated' becomes 'restored' (similar in meaning).
The middle letters of 'restored' are 'to'.
'seein'+'to'='SEEINTO'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
