Odd stigma created by individual article describing cheeky, hairy relatives (6)
I believe the answer is:
simian
'describing cheeky hairy relatives' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'odd stigma created by individual article' is the wordplay.
'odd' means one should take alternating letters.
'created' becomes 'n' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'individual' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral for one, ie individual).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
The alternate letters of 'stigma' are 'sim'.
'i'+'a'='ia'
'n' after 'ia' is 'ian'.
'sim'+'ian'='SIMIAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for simian that I've seen before include "Of or like monkeys" , "Ape-like - in Siam (anag)" , "Of monkeys and apes" , "Resembling an ape or monkey" , "Relating to monkeys" .)
