Recently complaining more in hearing of inflammation (9)
I believe the answer is:
pneumonia
This could be a double definition.
'recently complaining more in hearing' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'inflammation' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pneumonia that I've seen before include "Lung infection" , "Inflammation of the lung" , "ailment" , "complaint" , "Piano menu? (anag)" .)
