New listener, reportedly quoted as unable to see clearly ahead (11)
I believe the answer is:
nearsighted
'unable to see clearly ahead' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'new listener reportedly quoted' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'listener' becomes 'ear' (body part which hears or listens).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'quoted' becomes 'cited' ('cite' can be a synonym of 'quote').
'cited' is a homophone of 'sighted'.
'n'+'ear'+'sighted'='NEARSIGHTED'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
