Parody surprisingly accurate covering scripture studies (10)
I believe the answer is:
caricature
'parody' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'surprisingly accurate covering scripture studies' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'scripture' could be 'ri' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ri' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'accurate' is 'cacature' which is located in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caricature that I've seen before include "Comically exaggerated representation" , "Comical representation" , "Exaggerated depiction (of someone)" , "countenanced by Katisha" , "Exaggerated likeness" .)
