Rough hooch in yard draws Penny in, causing neurosis (12)
I believe the answer is:
hypochondria
'neurosis' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'rough hooch in yard draws penny in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'yard' could be 'y' (abbreviation) and 'y' is found in the answer.
'penny' could be 'p' (short for pence) and 'p' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'hooch' is 'hocho' which is within the left over letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'causing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hypochondria that I've seen before include "Chronic anxiety about one's health" , "Imaginary illness" , "Morbid anxiety about one's health" , "Abnormal health worry" , "Imagined ill-health" .)
