Timeless photo possibly inspires journalist to provide digital restoration (8)
I believe the answer is:
pedicure
'digital restoration' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'timeless photo possibly inspires journalist' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is found in the answer.
'photo' could be 'pic' (short for picture) and 'pic' is found within the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'ure' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to provide' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pedicure that I've seen before include "Beauty treatment for the feet" , "Care and treatment of the feet and toenails" , "Price due for car of the feet" , "cutting out corn etc" , "Cosmetic foot treatment" .)
