Nagged male newsman to capture liaison's latest kiss (9)
I believe the answer is:
henpecked
'nagged' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'male newsman to capture liaison's latest kiss' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'male' could be 'he' (he refers to a man) and 'he' is found within the answer.
'newsman' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is found in the answer.
'kiss' could be 'peck' (pecking is a kind of kissing) and 'peck' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for henpecked that I've seen before include "Nagged and brow beaten as by wife" , "Domineered by wife" , "Harassed" , "Of husband, bullied as by domestic fowl" , "Dominated by wife" .)
