Merge Daniel arranged showing cunning deception (11)
I believe the answer is:
legerdemain
'cunning deception' is the definition.
'legerdemain' can be an answer for 'deception' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'cunning' bit.
'merge daniel arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'merge'+'daniel'='mergedaniel'
'mergedaniel' anagrammed gives 'LEGERDEMAIN'.
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legerdemain that I've seen before include "Magician's skill" , "leads to deception" , "Skill with hand" , "Manipulation" , "sleight-of-hand" .)
