A modest keenness appears rather nonsensical (6,4,5)
I believe the answer is:
doesnt make sense
'rather nonsensical' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'a modest keenness appears' is the wordplay.
'appears' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'modest'+'keenness'='amodestkeenness'
'amodestkeenness' is an anagram of 'DOESNT MAKE SENSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
