Think little of reckless speeds around island (7)
I believe the answer is:
despise
'think little of reckless speeds around island' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'reckless speeds around island' is the wordplay.
'reckless' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'speeds' anagrammed gives 'despse'.
'despse' enclosing 'i' is 'DESPISE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for despise that I've seen before include "Feel contempt for; scorn" , "Feel contempt for (someone/something)" , "Have contempt for, regard as low" , "Look down upon" , "Look down on with disdain" .)
