Trendy connects fast, barely lifting a finger? (8)
I believe the answer is:
indolent
'trendy connects fast barely lifting a finger?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'trendy connects fast barely lifting' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'connects fast barely' becomes 'dolent' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lifting' says to put letters next to each other.
'in'+'dolent'='INDOLENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indolent that I've seen before include "Lazy, disinclined to work" , "Lazy, slothful" , "Making no effort" , "Lethargic" , "Disinclined to exertion or work" .)
