Woman that was first to be in a good network feeling resentment? (9)
I believe the answer is:
aggrieved
'woman that was first to' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.
'in a good network feeling resentment?' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'network' becomes 'grid' (grid is a kind of network).
'feeling resentment?' becomes 'eve' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'g'+'grid'='aggrid'
'aggrid' enclosing 'eve' is 'AGGRIEVED'.
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aggrieved that I've seen before include "Miffed" , "Made resentful by unfair treatment" , "Resentful, distressed" , "Hurt" .)
