Starts to pour ridicule, for example, on a girl's delicate condition (9)
I believe the answer is:
pregnancy
'delicate condition' is the definition.
'pregnancy' can be an answer for 'condition' (pregnancy is a kind of condition). I am unsure of the 'delicate' bit.
'starts to pour ridicule for example on a girl's' is the wordplay.
'starts to' says to take the initial letters.
'for example' becomes 'e.g.' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a girl' becomes 'nancy' ().
The initial letters of 'pour ridicule' is 'pr'.
'pr'+'eg'+'nancy'='PREGNANCY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pregnancy that I've seen before include "expectation?" , "Period carrying a child" .)
