Vincent's content with journal being scandalous? (10)
I believe the answer is:
incendiary
'scandalous?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'vincent's content with journal' is the wordplay.
'content' says to take the centre.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'journal' becomes 'diary' (diary is a kind of journal).
The centre of 'vincent' is 'incen'.
'incen'+'diary'='INCENDIARY'
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for incendiary that I've seen before include "Fire-raiser" , "getting people excited" , "of a provocative nature" , "tending to stir up trouble" , "bomb" .)
