Wonderful invention from the outset (8)
I believe the answer is:
flounder
This could be a double definition.
'wonderful invention' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'outset' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'from the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flounder that I've seen before include "Small flatfish" , "flail" , "Move clumsily like flatfish?" , "Have difficulty" , "Be out of one's depth" .)
