Pensive yet weepy, having cut ear (10)
I believe the answer is:
thoughtful
'pensive' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'yet weepy having cut ear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'yet' could be 'though' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'though' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thoughtful that I've seen before include "Considerate" , "Caring" .)
