Frightened to rearrange the room in a new suit (8)
I believe the answer is:
timorous
'frightened' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'rearrange the room in a new suit' is the wordplay.
'rearrange' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a new' is an anagram indicator.
'room' anagrammed gives 'moro'.
'suit' with letters rearranged gives 'tius'.
'moro' put into 'tius' is 'TIMOROUS'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for timorous that I've seen before include "Apprehensive" , "Very timid, frightened" , "showing fear" , "Fearful, shy" , "Shy, nervous" .)
