Methodical, obsessive UK finance centre withdrawn (8)
I believe the answer is:
analytic
'methodical' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'obsessive uk finance centre withdrawn' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'obsessive' could be 'anal' (I've seen this before) and 'anal' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for analytic that I've seen before include "searching" , "Breaking down" , "Resolving into first principles" , "interpretive" , "Using logical reasoning" .)
