Perhaps I’m mistakenly reaching conclusion, failing to understand (15)
I believe the answer is:
misapprehending
'failing to understand' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'perhaps i'm mistakenly reaching conclusion' is the wordplay.
'mistakenly' indicates an anagram.
'reaching' says to put letters next to each other.
'conclusion' becomes 'ending' (synonyms).
'perhaps'+'im'='perhapsim'
'perhapsim' anagrammed gives 'misappreh'.
'misappreh'+'ending'='MISAPPREHENDING'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
