Pumping iron in gym, Romeo was evicted in disgrace (8)
I believe the answer is:
ignominy
'disgrace' is the definition.
(I know that disgrace can be written as ignominy)
'pumping iron in gym romeo was evicted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ignomy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ignominy that I've seen before include "Public shame or disgrace" , "Public dishonour" , "State of disgrace or humiliation" , "terrible disgrace?" , "Disgrace, odium" .)
