Love to escape staggering day care cost for big baby (7-3)
I believe the answer is:
scaredy-cat
'big baby' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'love to escape staggering day care cost' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'day' could be 'd' (abbreviation for day) and 'd' is found in the answer.
'care' could be 'car' (car care is a kind of care) and 'car' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scaredy-cat that I've seen before include "One easily frightened" , "7 across" , "Timid type" , "Timid person (or feline?)" , "Coward" .)
