Recalling car that's broken on trail (11)
I believe the answer is:
reminiscent
'recalling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'car that's broken on trail' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'car' could be 'mini' (Mini Cooper) and 'mini' is located in the answer.
'that's' could be 'sc' (short for Latin scilicet- 'it follows' or 'that is) and 'sc' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reminiscent that I've seen before include "Redolent" , "Bringing back" , "Suggestive - in ten crimes (anag)" , "Recalling" , "Evocative" .)
