Naked logic exploited failing -- Kirk didn't see adversaries using it (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
cloaking device
'kirk didn't see adversaries using it' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'naked logic exploited failing' is the wordplay.
'exploited' indicates an anagram.
'failing' becomes 'vice' (I've seen this in other clues).
'naked'+'logic'='nakedlogic'
'nakedlogic' with letters rearranged gives 'cloakingde'.
'cloakingde'+'vice'='CLOAKING DEVICE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
