Twice gain men wrongly through partly indelicate ambiguity (13)
I believe the answer is:
doublemeaning
'twice gain men wrongly through partly indelicate ambiguity' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'twice gain men wrongly' is the wordplay.
'twice' becomes 'double' (synonyms).
'wrongly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gain'+'men'='gainmen'
'gainmen' with letters rearranged gives 'meaning'.
'double'+'meaning'='DOUBLEMEANING'
Can you help me to learn more?
