Roman numerals much discoloured (5)
I believe the answer is:
livid
This clue could be a double definition.
'roman numerals much' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'discoloured' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for livid that I've seen before include "Black-and-blue - furious" , "Furiously angry - leaden coloured?" , "Black and blue" , "some more [old cardinals]" , "Lead-coloured, being furiously angry" .)
