Unable to escape desperate need to hug child from The Sound of Music? (9)
I believe the answer is:
entrapped
'unable to escape' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'desperate need to hug child from the sound of music?' is the wordplay.
'desperate' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'to hug' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are hugged).
'child from the sound of music?' becomes 'trapp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'need' is an anagram of 'ened'.
'ened' placed around 'trapp' is 'ENTRAPPED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entrapped that I've seen before include "unable to find a way out" , "Caught in a snare" , "Maybe framed" , "Snared" .)
