Shorn ewe followed by shaggy ram in agitated state (7-2)
I believe the answer is:
wrought-up
'agitated state' is the definition.
'wrought up' can be an answer for 'agitated' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'state' bit.
'shorn ewe followed by shaggy ram' is the wordplay.
'shorn' says to take the centre (shorn of edges).
'followed by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shaggy' becomes 'rough' (similar in meaning).
'ram' becomes 'tup' (both can mean a male sheep).
The middle of 'ewe' is 'w'.
'w'+'rough'+'tup'='WROUGHT-UP'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for wrought-up that I've seen is " Agitated - over-excited".)
