Record one public row after son goes gender-neutral (7)
I believe the answer is:
epicene
'gender-neutral' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'record one public row after son' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'record' could be 'ep' (abbreviation for extended play record) and 'ep' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'goes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epicene that I've seen before include "Effeminate, effete" , "Unisex" , "camp" , "Hermaphroditic" , "Having characteristics of both sexes - or of none" .)
