Unconsciously hope El Salvador's turned around (6)
I believe the answer is:
asleep
'unconsciously' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'hope el salvador's turned around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'turned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'peelsa' is hidden within 'hope el salvadors'.
'peelsa' written backwards gives 'ASLEEP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asleep that I've seen before include "Please be at rest, oddly" , "Having forty winks" , "In the arms of Hypnos" , "Slumbering" , "Inattentive; numbed" .)
