Reason wearing animal skin gets discussed (5)
I believe the answer is:
infer
'reason' is the definition.
(both can mean to deduce)
'wearing animal skin gets discussed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'wearing' could be 'in' (you are 'in' the clothes you're wearing) and 'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for infer that I've seen before include "Extrapolate, conclude" , "Read between the line" , "Establish by deduction" , "Conclude by reasoning" , "Presume" .)
