University study about diet strangely not corrected (8)
I believe the answer is:
unedited
'not corrected' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes mean the same thing.
'university study about diet strangely' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'study' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'den' backwards is 'ned'.
'diet' anagrammed gives 'ited'.
'u'+'ned'+'ited'='UNEDITED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unedited that I've seen before include "Never before published" , "Text that's been unaltered" , "In the original version" , "unchanged" , "As written, without correction" .)
