Being this, exercise needs a try? (9)
I believe the answer is:
sedentary
'being' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.
'exercise needs a try?' is the wordplay.
'needs a try' anagrams to 'SEDENTARY'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'this' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedentary that I've seen before include "Tending to spend much time seated" , "Yes, red ant could be sitting" , "inactive" , "describing many office jobs?" , "Tending to spend too much seated and taking little exercise" .)
