Truth about tucking into new variety (8)
I believe the answer is:
veracity
'truth' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'about tucking into new variety' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'variety' is 'veraity' which is within the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for veracity that I've seen before include "Truth" , "Habitual truthfulness" , "Truthfulness, accuracy" , "Exactitude" .)
