The slowing of activity worried Rotarian set (11)
I believe the answer is:
arrestation
'the slowing of activity' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'worried rotarian set' is the wordplay.
'worried' is an anagram indicator (worry can mean to interfere with or disturb).
'rotarian'+'set'='rotarianset'
'rotarianset' with letters rearranged gives 'ARRESTATION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
