Rabies checked by mounting embassy legislation (5)
I believe the answer is:
lyssa
'rabies' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'checked by mounting embassy legislation' is the wordplay.
'LYSSA' is hidden back-to-front in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lyssa that I've seen is " rabies".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
