Wrongly blame outside finish, a state that can be repaired (9)
I believe the answer is:
amendable
'state that can be repaired' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'wrongly blame outside finish a' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'blame' is an anagram of 'amble'.
'end'+'a'='enda'
'amble' enclosing 'enda' is 'AMENDABLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amendable that I've seen before include "likely to be converted" , "May be corrected" , "not beyond redemption" , "Open to change" .)
