Story about Spanish gentleman not too bad? (10)
I believe the answer is:
pardonable
'not too bad?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'story about spanish gentleman' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'parable' (parable is a kind of story).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'spanish gentleman' becomes 'don' (formal term of address for a man in Spanish).
'parable' going around 'don' is 'PARDONABLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pardonable that I've seen before include "not deserving censure" , "That may be forgiven" , "Excusable" , "likely to go unpunished?" , "venial" .)
