Mountain woman who was tempted to take things easy (7)
I believe the answer is:
everest
'mountain' is the definition.
(Mount Everest)
'woman who was tempted to take things easy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'woman' could be 'vere' and 'vere' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'est' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for everest that I've seen before include "High mountain" , "Tallest mountain ..." , "High peak" , "Himalayan peak" , "Himalyan peak" .)
