Was upset about an inflamed rash? (9)
I believe the answer is:
daredevil
'rash?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'was upset about an inflamed' is the wordplay.
'was upset' becomes 'devil' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'inflamed' becomes 'red' (synonyms).
'a'+'red'='ared'
'devil' enclosing 'ared' is 'DAREDEVIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for daredevil that I've seen before include "Recklessly bold person" , "rash" , "Stuntman" , "Reckless person who enjoys danger" , "One who enjoys dangerous activities" .)
