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 judge whether this defines the answer.
'we recalled published unused books' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'published' could be 'ran' (as in a newspaper running a story) and 'ran' is present in the answer.
'books' could be 'nt' (abbreviation for New Testament) and 'nt' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
