Radiant young woman on the internet I have to follow (8)
I believe the answer is:
emissive
'radiant' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'young woman on the internet i have to follow' is the wordplay.
'young woman' becomes 'miss' (title for a young woman).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the internet' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'i have' becomes 'I've' (contraction of 'I have').
'to follow' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go after or follow others).
'miss' after 'e' is 'emiss'.
'emiss'+'ive'='EMISSIVE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emissive that I've seen before include "Sending out" , "Giving off substances" .)
