Nice dent produced that's shocking (8)
I believe the answer is:
indecent
'shocking' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'nice dent produced' is the wordplay.
'produced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nice'+'dent'='nicedent'
'nicedent' anagrammed gives 'INDECENT'.
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indecent that I've seen before include "Offending against modesty, obscene" , "Rude, improper" , "Unseemly" , "Lewd" , "Unbecoming, obscene" .)
