Tone of Dutch hospital occasionally found wanting (7)
I believe the answer is:
fuchsia
'tone of dutch hospital occasionally found wanting' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'tone of dutch hospital occasionally' is the wordplay.
'tone of' becomes 'f' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'occasionally' means one should take alternating letters.
'dutch'+'hospital'='dutchhospital'
The alternate letters of 'dutchhospital' are 'uchsia'.
'f'+'uchsia'='FUCHSIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fuchsia that I've seen before include "Tropical shrub with drooping flowers" , "Ornamental flowering plant - reddish-purple" , "Pendulous-flowered shrub" , "Flower; colour" , "Shrub with hanging flowers" .)
