Warmer between volcanic eruptions (5)
I believe the answer is:
nicer
'warmer' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'between volcanic eruptions' is the wordplay.
'between' indicates a hidden word.
'NICER' is hidden within 'volcanic eruptions'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nicer that I've seen before include "improved" , "more lovely" , "better" , "more accurate" , "it's more appealing" .)
