The anxious eccentric shows fatigue (10)
I believe the answer is:
exhaustion
'fatigue' is the definition.
(exhaustion is a kind of fatigue)
'the anxious eccentric' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'anxious'='theanxious'
'theanxious' is an anagram of 'EXHAUSTION'.
'shows' acts as a link.
(Another definition for exhaustion that I've seen is " fatigue".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
