Often scroll threads, showing restraint (4-7)
I believe the answer is:
self-control
'restraint' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'often scroll threads' is the wordplay.
'often scroll' anagrams to 'SELF-CONTROL'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for self-control that I've seen before include "Willpower" , "Composure" , "Entice" .)
