Crossword Genius

Spot decrepit man wandering about (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

predicament

'spot' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'decrepit man wandering about' is the wordplay.
'wandering about' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'decrepit'+'man'='decrepitman'
'decrepitman' is an anagram of 'PREDICAMENT'.

(Other definitions for predicament that I've seen before include "in corner" , "Perplexing situation" , "Quandary" , "Dilemma" , "Scrape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
