Noun encapsulated by 'rage' possibly? (5)
I believe the answer is:
anger
'noun encapsulated by rage possibly?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'noun encapsulated by rage possibly?' is the wordplay.
'noun' becomes 'n'.
'encapsulated by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'possibly?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'possibly' mean this).
'rage' with letters rearranged gives 'ager'.
'n' inserted within 'ager' is 'ANGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anger that I've seen before include "Feeling of vexation" , "Hack off" , "Provoke annoyance" , "Nettle" , "One of the seven deadly sins" .)
