Unknown state of steel that’s wearing at front (15)
I believe the answer is:
indetermination
'front' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'unknown state of steel that's wearing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'state' could be 'nation' (both can mean a country) and 'nation' is located in the answer.
'wearing' could be 'in' (you are 'in' the clothes you're wearing) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indetermination that I've seen before include "Lack of certainty" , "uncertainty" .)
