Scold cross colonial type with a joint to peace-out? (9)
I believe the answer is:
xanthippe
'scold' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'cross colonial type with a joint to peace-out?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cross' could be 'x' (an X is a cross) and 'x' is located in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'joint' could be 'hip' (part of body) and 'hip' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for xanthippe that I've seen is " Shrewish wife".)
