Pretend not to notice a hopeless lover getting nothing right (8)
I believe the answer is:
overlook
'pretend not to notice a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'hopeless lover getting nothing right' is the wordplay.
'hopeless' indicates anagramming the letters.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'right' becomes 'OK' (OK can mean right or appropriate).
'lover' is an anagram of 'overl'.
'overl'+'o'+'ok'='OVERLOOK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overlook that I've seen before include "Ignore or fail to see" , "Ignore a fault or have a view from above" , "Fail to observe or consider" , "Keep an eye on" , "Ignore or fail to notice" .)
