Loose skin lost importance with weight in rolls (6)
I believe the answer is:
dewlap
'loose skin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lost importance with weight in rolls' is the wordplay.
'lost importance' becomes 'paled'.
'with weight' becomes 'w' (I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'rolls' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'rolling' mean this).
'paled' going around 'w' is 'palwed'.
'palwed' written backwards gives 'DEWLAP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dewlap that I've seen before include "Fold of loose skin hanging from throat" , "Fold of loose skin beneath the chin" , "Fold of loose skin that hangs beneath throat" , "Fold of flesh hanging below chin" , "Pendulous skin under throat" .)
