Writings by Donne about very ordinary people (12)
I believe the answer is:
nondescripts
'very ordinary people' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'writings by donne about' is the wordplay.
'writings' becomes 'scripts' (script is a kind of writing).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'donne' is an anagram of 'nonde'.
'scripts' put after 'nonde' is 'NONDESCRIPTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
