Wade about, open-mouthed (4)
I believe the answer is:
awed
'open-mouthed' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'wade about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wade' anagrammed gives 'AWED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awed that I've seen before include "Full of wonder" , "Inspired with wonder" , "Impressed deeply" , "Struck with fear/wonder" , "Cowed" .)
