Parched around the back but subject to breezes (6)
I believe the answer is:
drafty
'subject to breezes' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'parched around the back' is the wordplay.
'parched' becomes 'dry' (similar in meaning).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the back' becomes 'aft' (at the back of a ship).
'dry' placed around 'aft' is 'DRAFTY'.
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for drafty that I've seen is " affected by currents around Florida".)
