Stuff that’s fabricated and somewhat obscenely retold in turn (8)
I believe the answer is:
terylene
'stuff' is the definition.
(I have seen 'synthetic stuff' mean 'terylene' so perhaps 'stuff' could also mean 'terylene')
'obscenely retold in turn' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'enelyret' can be found hidden inside 'obscenely retold'.
'enelyret' backwards is 'TERYLENE'.
'thatrsquos fabricated and somewhat' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for terylene that I've seen before include "Synthetic material" , "Fabric of polyester fibres" , "Man-made fibre" , "Synthetic fibre" , "Crease-resistant fibre" .)
