Splendid lad two generations removed (8)
I believe the answer is:
grandson
'splendid lad two generations removed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'splendid lad two generations removed' is the wordplay.
'two generations' means two replacements for 'generations'.
'splendid' becomes 'grand' (both can mean impressive).
'lad' becomes 'son' (lad can informally mean a young boy).
'removed' is a deletion indicator.
'grand'+'son'+'generations'='grandsongenerations'
'grandsongenerations' with 'generations' removed is 'GRANDSON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grandson that I've seen before include "Daughter's boy" , "Male offspring, third generation (8)" , "Young male relative" , "Dons rang (anag) - relative" , "Junior relative" .)
