Month before Oct 1 appearing woozy — is one stoned? (7)
I believe the answer is:
apricot
'woozy is one stoned?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'month before oct 1 appearing' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'Apr' (abbreviation for April).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'1' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'appearing' is an anagram indicator.
'oct'+'i'='octi'
'octi' is an anagram of 'icot'.
'apr'+'icot'='APRICOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricot that I've seen before include "Rip coat (anag) - fruit" , "Small, peach-like fruit" , "Fruit resembling a peach" , "shade" , "Juicy stone-fruit, orange-pink when ripe" .)
