Misfortune, as expected, brings discomfort with it (6)
I believe the answer is:
unease
'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'misfortune as expected brings discomfort' is the wordplay.
'UNEASE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unease that I've seen before include "State of anxiety" , "State of worry and lack of confidence" , "Anxiety, discontent" , "Disquiet" , "Discomfort or apprehension" .)
