What leads Veronica into temptation? Affection, ironically (5)
I believe the answer is:
lurve
'affection ironically' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'what leads veronica into temptation?' is the wordplay.
'what leads' indicates taking the first letters.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'temptation?' becomes 'lure' (lure is a kind of temptation).
The initial letter of 'veronica' is 'v'.
'v' going into 'lure' is 'LURVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lurve that I've seen is " Yuck".)
