Suggestive note about "fast" clothes (8)
I believe the answer is:
redolent
'suggestive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'note about fast clothes' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 're' (as in do-re-mi).
'about fast clothes' becomes 'dolent' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'dolent'='REDOLENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for redolent that I've seen before include "Objective scented" , "Do relent, being full of memories or smells" , "Strongly suggesting" , "Smelling strongly or suggestive of it" , "Smelling of, evocative" .)
