Strong wine keeping group of women permanently connected (9)
I believe the answer is:
hardwired
'permanently connected' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.
'strong wine keeping group of women' is the wordplay.
'strong' becomes 'hard' (similar in meaning).
'wine' becomes 'red wine' (red is a type of wine).
'keeping' is an insertion indicator (some letters kept inside).
'group of women' becomes 'WI' (Women's Institute).
'hard'+'red'='hardred'
'hardred' placed around 'wi' is 'HARDWIRED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hardwired that I've seen is " not learned".)
