Stigma attached to boring hunk related to us (9)
I believe the answer is:
dishonour
'stigma' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'attached to boring hunk related to us' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'attached' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dishonour that I've seen before include "Shame" , "Slight" , "scandal" , "disgrace" .)
