Reported such speech not going straight to the point (8)
I believe the answer is:
indirect
This might be a double definition.
'reported such speech' is the first definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
'not going straight to the point' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indirect that I've seen before include "Circumlocutory" , "long drawn-out" , "Deviating, not straight" , "Not straighforward" , "Not straight, route say" .)
