Tense with anticipation peering over precipice? (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
on edge
'tense' is the definition.
(on edge can mean tense or stressed)
'anticipation peering over precipice?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'over' could be 'on' (physically on top of) and 'on' is found within the answer.
'precipice?' could be 'edge' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'edge' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on edge that I've seen before include "Twitchy" , "Cliff-top walker may be" , "looking down at Much Wenlock?" , "Fidgety, nervous" , "Anxious, nervy" .)
