Put name into small newspaper article, curving along the edges (9)
I believe the answer is:
scalloped
'curving along the edges' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'put name into small newspaper article' is the wordplay.
'put name' becomes 'call' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'newspaper article' becomes 'op-ed'.
's'+'oped'='soped'
'call' put into 'soped' is 'SCALLOPED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scalloped that I've seen before include "Decorated with shell-like shapes" , "with ornamental borders?" .)
