Scores with iciness possibly (7)
I believe the answer is:
incises
'scores' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'iciness possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'iciness' is an anagram of 'INCISES'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for incises that I've seen is " Cuts".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
