My rise cannot possibly bring happiness (6)
I believe the answer is:
misery
'happiness' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both feelings as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'my rise cannot possibly' is the wordplay.
'my rise' anagrams to 'MISERY'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.
'bring' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misery that I've seen before include "Woe, wretchedness" , "Party-pooper" , "Intense unhappiness" , "Mental distress or discomfort" , "Wretched unhappiness" .)
