Missing curate found on rocks clutching cape
I believe the answer is:
unaccountedfor
'missing' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'curate found on rocks clutching cape' is the wordplay.
'rocks' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clutching' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cape' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used on maps).
'curate'+'found'+'on'='curatefoundon'
'curatefoundon' is an anagram of 'unacountedfor'.
'unacountedfor' placed around 'c' is 'UNACCOUNTED-FOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
