Time to note: what was more savoury now more indecent (7)
I believe the answer is:
nastier
'more indecent' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'time to note what was more savoury now' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
'note' could be 'si' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'si' is located in the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nastier that I've seen before include "More disgusting" , "more awkward" , "Retsina (anag) -- not so nice" , "more aggressive" , "More horrid" .)
