Office suit annoyed by legal proceedings about to be dismissed (9)
I believe the answer is:
situation
'office' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'suit annoyed by legal proceedings about to be dismissed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'suit' is 'situ' which is within the answer.
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'on' (a book about x is on x) and 'on' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for situation that I've seen before include "Position" , "spot" , "See 6" , "Post" , "Job; set of circumstances" .)
