Senseless not to finish, chap figured? (7)
I believe the answer is:
numeric
'senseless' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'not to finish chap figured?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'chap' could be 'eric' and 'eric' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for numeric that I've seen before include "Consisting of numbers" , "Employing figures" , "Expressed using digits" , "Expressed in numbers" , "Using figures" .)
