Somehow it’s nicer to receive kiss from a foreign party? (9)
I believe the answer is:
extrinsic
'a foreign party?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'somehow it's nicer to receive kiss' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'to receive' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'its'+'nicer'='itsnicer'
'itsnicer' is an anagram of 'etrinsic'.
'etrinsic' going around 'x' is 'EXTRINSIC'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extrinsic that I've seen before include "Not essential or inherent" , "Foreign" , "What's inessential" .)
