Specific about Shakespeare part getting bowdlerised (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
clear-cut
'specific' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'about shakespeare part getting bowdlerised' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'about' could be 'c' (circa) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'part' could be 'ear' (ear is a kind of part) and 'ear' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clear-cut that I've seen before include "Cruel act (anag)" , "Definite - 2 down" , "Unambiguous" , "Well defined" , "Sharply defined" .)
