Unwieldy reforms galore holding minister back (9)
I believe the answer is:
overlarge
'unwieldy' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'reforms galore holding minister back' is the wordplay.
'reforms' indicates anagramming the letters.
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'minister' becomes 'rev' (short for Reverend, a church minister).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'rev' reversed gives 'ver'.
'galore' with letters rearranged gives 'olarge'.
'olarge' placed around 'ver' is 'OVERLARGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overlarge that I've seen before include "Too great" , "not as small as required?" , "more than enough" , "not the right size" , "Titanic" .)
