Look in tears? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stare
'look' is the definition.
(I know that stare is a type of look)
'tears?' is the wordplay.
'tears' anagrams to 'STARE'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stare that I've seen before include "Look with fixed eyes" , "bird" , "Look hard" , "Rates (anag.)" , "Look with fixed gaze" .)
