Poison in cure leads to convictions (8)
I believe the answer is:
opinions
'convictions' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'poison in cure' is the wordplay.
'cure' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'cured' mean this).
'poison'+'in'='poisonin'
'poisonin' with letters rearranged gives 'OPINIONS'.
'leads to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opinions that I've seen before include "'Beliefs, judgments (8)'" , "Personal beliefs or judgments" , "Personal views" , "Macbeth bought golden ones" , "Points of view, judgments" .)
