Resentment, keeping in mind son’s telling of roguish deeds? (10)
I believe the answer is:
picaresque
'telling of roguish deeds?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'resentment keeping in mind son's' is the wordplay.
'resentment' becomes 'pique' (I've seen this before).
'keeping' indicates putting letters inside (some letters kept inside).
'in mind' becomes 'care' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'care'+'s'='cares'
'pique' going around 'cares' is 'PICARESQUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for picaresque that I've seen before include "about roguish traveller" , "describing roguish novel" , "dealing with exploits of rogues" , "fiction" , "Involving roguish adventures" .)
