Some incite neglect about dealing with make-up (7)
I believe the answer is:
genetic
'dealing with make-up' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'some incite neglect about' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'citeneg' is hidden within 'incite neglect'.
'citeneg' reversed gives 'GENETIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for genetic that I've seen before include "relating to origin" , "(The code) of our DNA" , "regarding family sources" , "handed down through the generations" , "coming from a common source" .)
