The tendency of professional writers to lose head in Dublin, for instance (10)
I believe the answer is:
propensity
'the tendency' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for propensity that I've seen before include "Bent" , "Inclination; tendency" .)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
