The contents of a bowl make a graduate wicked (8)
I believe the answer is:
basinful
'the contents of a bowl' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a graduate wicked' is the wordplay.
'a graduate' becomes 'BA' (someone with a Bachelor of Arts degree).
'wicked' becomes 'sinful' (synonyms).
'ba'+'sinful'='BASINFUL'
'make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for basinful that I've seen before include "Capacity of a large bowl" , "More than enough" , "Quantity of water" .)
