A poor mother or father, that’s
obvious (8)
Solution – apparent
This is a charades type clue – see
the sidebar under the list of popular posts if you want to know more about charades or abbreviations in cryptic
crosswords.
The definition part of the clue is
the second half. The solution is a word
that means “obvious” ie apparent.
How do you get that from the first
part of the clue?
You take A. Add P for poor. And a mother or father is a “parent’
So a+p+parent = apparent.
