Like Italian gangster’s choice of camera? (7)
I believe the answer is:
digital
'choice of camera?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'like italian gangster's' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'dig' (to dig can mean to appreciate or 'get').
'italian' becomes 'it' (abbreviation for Italian).
'gangster' becomes 'al' (Al Capone).
'dig'+'it'+'al'='DIGITAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for digital that I've seen before include "Made up of numerals, a watch or other display" , "Of data expressed as a series of 0 and 1" , "As opposed to analogue?" , "Relating to fingers" , "Sort of radio" .)
