What leads Veronica into temptation? Affection, ironically (5)
I believe the answer is:
lurve
'affection ironically' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'what leads veronica into temptation?' is the wordplay.
'what leads' indicates taking the first letters.
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'temptation?' becomes 'lure' (lure is a kind of temptation).
The first letter of 'veronica' is 'v'.
'v' inserted into 'lure' is 'LURVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lurve that I've seen is " Yuck".)
