We recalled published, unused books lacking complete clarity (15)
I believe the answer is:
semitransparent
'we recalled published unused books lacking complete clarity' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'we recalled published unused books' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'published' could be 'ran' (as in a newspaper running a story) and 'ran' is located in the answer.
'books' could be 'nt' (New Testament) and 'nt' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
