Scrooge's passion to find the origins of sin? (4,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
root of all evil
'scrooge's passion' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'to find the origins of sin?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'sin?' could be 'fall' (fall is a kind of sin) and 'fall' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
