While away in resort innate bias may appear (2,8)
I believe the answer is:
in absentia
'while away' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'resort innate bias may appear' is the wordplay.
'innate bias' can be anagrammed to 'IN ABSENTIA'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in absentia that I've seen before include "not at event" , "While not present (Latin)" , "away" , "Wanting an appearance" .)
