Predictable error made about evil eye? (4)
I believe the answer is:
leer
'evil eye?' is the definition.
'leer' can be an answer for 'eye?' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'evil' bit.
'predictable error made about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'LEER' is hidden in the letters of 'predictable error made'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leer that I've seen before include "Lewd look" , "Give sly look" , "Lecherous look" , "Gaze lasciviously at" , "Look lasciviously at" .)
