Page inserted in Paradise Lost -- second goes missing (10)
I believe the answer is:
disappears
'goes missing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'page inserted in paradise lost second' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'page' could be 'p' and 'p' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'paradise' is 'disapear' which is present in the remaining letters.
'second' could be 's' (common abbreviation) and 's' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disappears that I've seen before include "goes missing" , "becomes lost" .)
