Prostrate after mishap and likely to get hurt (8-5)
I believe the answer is:
accident-prone
'likely to get hurt' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'prostrate after mishap' is the wordplay.
'prostrate' becomes 'prone' (synonyms).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mishap' becomes 'accident' (I've seen this before).
'prone' put after 'accident' is 'ACCIDENT-PRONE'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accident-prone that I've seen before include "Liable to have mishaps" , "Unusually susceptible to mishaps" , "Given to mishaps" , "Given to misadventure" , "Clumsy" .)
