Pitifully meek, oddly weird, and lacking in mental resilience (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
weak-minded
'pitifully meek oddly weird and lacking' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'in mental resilience' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
