Mysterious drunk seen in East Morecambe? (8)
I believe the answer is:
esoteric
'mysterious' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drunk seen in east morecambe?' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'sot' ('sot' can be a synonym of 'drunk').
'seen in' indicates putting letters inside.
'east' becomes 'e' ('E' can be a synonym of 'east').
'morecambe?' becomes 'eric' (I've seen this in other clues).
'e'+'eric'='eeric'
'sot' going inside 'eeric' is 'ESOTERIC'.
(Other definitions for esoteric that I've seen before include "hidden" , "Hard to understand" , "I set core up to be mysterious" , "'Abstruse, arcane (8)'" , "Support jutting out from wall" .)
