Upset as given the sack, it's implied? (12)
I believe the answer is:
disappointed
'upset as' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the sack it's implied?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 'sa' (old-fashioned abbreviation for sex appeal) and 'sa' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'given' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disappointed that I've seen before include "Saddened" , "Feeling sad" , "Unhappy" , "Sad and let-down" , "Let-down, frustrated" .)
