Sorcerer opens pop with leak in can? (7)
I believe the answer is:
damaged
'sorcerer opens pop with leak in can?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'sorcerer opens pop' is the wordplay.
'sorcerer' becomes 'mage' (I've seen this before).
'opens' is an insertion indicator (one set of letters makes an 'opening' in another).
'pop' becomes 'dad ' (both can mean one's father).
'mage' placed inside 'dad' is 'DAMAGED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for damaged that I've seen before include "Harmed, injured or spoiled" , "in poor condition" , "Marred" , "Hurt" , "Impaired" .)
