Oti Mabuse dancing like a fox for Strictly (12)
I believe the answer is:
abstemiously
'strictly' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'oti mabuse dancing like a fox' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'like a fox' becomes 'sly' (I've seen this in another clue).
'oti'+'mabuse'='otimabuse'
'otimabuse' anagrammed gives 'abstemiou'.
'abstemiou'+'sly'='ABSTEMIOUSLY'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for abstemiously that I've seen is " sober manner".)
