Pity uncovered pancreas wound is pussy (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
persian cat
'pussy' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'pity uncovered pancreas wound' is the wordplay.
'uncovered' indicates the central letters.
'wound' indicates an anagram (wound can mean twisted or turned around).
The middle letters of 'pity' are 'it'.
'it'+'pancreas'='itpancreas'
'itpancreas' anagrammed gives 'PERSIAN CAT'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for persian cat that I've seen before include "animal" , "domestic pet" , "beast" , "Hairy pet" .)
