Very significant hater may emerge thus (5-10)
I believe the answer is:
earth-shattering
'very significant' is the definition.
'earth shattering' can be an answer for 'significant' (similar in meaning). I am not certain of the 'very' bit.
'hater may emerge thus' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'hater' is 'earth' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'shattering' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
