Ulcer or boil observed by one's ear? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sore
This could be a double definition.
'ulcer' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'boil observed by one's ear?' is the second definition.
'sore' can be an answer for 'boil' (boil can mean a sore or inflammation). I'm unsure of the 'observed by one's ear?' bit.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sore that I've seen before include "Rose (anag.)" , "Eros (anag.)" , "Irritated or painful" , "Causing or suffering pain" , "Aggrieved" .)
