Planned amusement in short supply in Shakespeare? (6)
I believe the answer is:
wilful
'planned' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'amusement in short supply in shakespeare?' is the wordplay.
'amusement' becomes 'fun' (I've seen this before).
'in short supply' means to remove the last letter.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'shakespeare?' becomes 'will' (William Shakespeare).
'fun' with its final letter removed is 'fu'.
'fu' inserted within 'will' is 'WILFUL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wilful that I've seen before include "Deliberate - unreasonably stubborn" , "Deliberately disobedient" , "Perverse" , "Disposed to disobedience and opposition" , "Done deliberately, not an accident" .)
