Nervous, observing oddly dogged support for individual (6)
I believe the answer is:
onedge
'nervous' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'oddly dogged support for individual' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
'support for' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters 'support' others).
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
The alternating letters of 'dogged' are 'dge'.
'dge' after 'one' is 'ONEDGE'.
'observing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
