Mistake from egghead over stopping children's education? (5)
I believe the answer is:
error
'mistake' is the definition.
(I know that mistake can be written as error)
'egghead over stopping children's education?' is the wordplay.
'egghead' becomes 'e' (head letter of 'egg').
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'stopping' is an insertion indicator (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'children's education?' becomes 'rrr' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'o' going inside 'rrr' is 'rror'.
'e'+'rror'='ERROR'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for error that I've seen before include "Bug" , "Faulty judgment" , "Miscarriage of justice" , "Slip, mistake" , "Solecism" .)
