Oscar died with outstanding debts? That's disgusting (6)
I believe the answer is:
odious
'disgusting' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'oscar died with outstanding debts?' is the wordplay.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'died' becomes 'd' (abbreviation next to the year of someone's death).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'outstanding debts?' becomes 'ious' (promises to pay debts. I am not sure about the 'outstanding' bit.).
'o'+'d'+'ious'='ODIOUS'
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odious that I've seen before include "Repellent" , "Contemptible" , "Replusive, abhorrent (6)" , "Loathsome and repugnant" , "Really hateful, abhorrent" .)
