Stolid fiends stuck in rocky ravine tut (15)
I believe the answer is:
undemonstrative
'stolid' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'fiends stuck in rocky ravine tut' is the wordplay.
'fiends' becomes 'demons' ('demon' can be a synonym of 'fiend').
'stuck in' is an insertion indicator.
'rocky' indicates an anagram (letters rocked or thrown around).
'ravine'+'tut'='ravinetut'
'ravinetut' with letters rearranged gives 'untrative'.
'demons' inserted within 'untrative' is 'UNDEMONSTRATIVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for undemonstrative that I've seen is " Cold".)
