Moth-eaten Monet is left out in the hot weather (4)
I believe the answer is:
heat
'the hot weather' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'moth-eaten monet is left out' is the wordplay.
'is left' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'moth'+'eaten'='motheaten'
'motheaten' with 'monet' taken away is 'hate'.
'hate' with letters rearranged gives 'HEAT'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heat that I've seen before include "Pressure" , "Apply warmth" , "Hotness" , "Energy that causes a rise in temperature" , "Get agitated" .)
