Reluctant to reveal part of a poem? (6)
I believe the answer is:
averse
'reluctant' is the definition.
(averse can mean reluctant or opposing)
'a poem?' is the wordplay.
'poem?' becomes 'verse' (verse is a kind of poem).
'a'+'verse'='AVERSE'
'to reveal part of' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for averse that I've seen before include "Ill-disposed to (a poem?)" , "Reaves (anag)" , "Disinclined or reluctant" , "Antipathetic" , "Having a strong opposition (to)" .)
