Wrote up hemistichs in part avoiding strong words (11)
I believe the answer is:
euphemistic
'part avoiding strong words' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'wrote up hemistichs in' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EUPHEMISTIC' can be found hidden inside 'wrote up hemistichs'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for euphemistic that I've seen before include "Using a mild term for an offensive one" , "Using less embarrassing wording" , "Replacing unpleasant term with a milder one" , "Using milder words for unpleasant terms" , "Using a milder term for something taboo" .)
