Making up: “Big African was dancing round tent in the beginning” (11)
I believe the answer is:
fabricating
'making up' is the definition.
('fabricate' can be a synonym of 'make up')
'big african was dancing round tent in the beginning' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
