Showing directness where many wandered around (7)
I believe the answer is:
candour
'showing directness' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'many wandered around' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'c' (C is the Roman numeral for 100).
'wandered' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an anagram of 'andour'.
'c'+'andour'='CANDOUR'
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for candour that I've seen before include "Opening up" , "Openness, honesty" , "sincerity" , "telling it like it is" , "Artlessness" .)
