Parole led criminal to bite bishop? Disgraceful (10)
I believe the answer is:
deplorable
'disgraceful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'parole led criminal to bite bishop?' is the wordplay.
'criminal' is an anagram indicator.
'to bite' indicates putting letters inside (to have a bite can mean to consume).
'bishop?' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'parole'+'led'='paroleled'
'paroleled' anagrammed gives 'deplorale'.
'deplorale' going around 'b' is 'DEPLORABLE'.
(Other definitions for deplorable that I've seen before include "Atrocious" , "Shocking!" , "That is to be regretted" .)
