scorpiojo

Wined past tense

bibblebub

treated with alcohol = WINED, as in 'wined and dined'

mac44

ent wined, as in wined and dined.

bibblebub

so definition is simply WOUND, the past participle of wind

Kaye-cd

have to presume it is entwines ans ent is hospital dept. and alcohol would then be ...wines

Thanks guys but I am still not sure where ENTWINED is defined within the clue. I always thought that one of the cardinal rules of a cryptic clue was that the answer needed to be defined, either by the first or last word of the clue.

So, how is ENTWINED a definition of either wound or alcohol ?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree here ?

AH ! just seen it !...silly billy ! Its wound as in cotton wound around a reel, rather than a wound, as in a cut finger !

Clever clue !

scorpiojo

Wounds around, not hurt

scorpiojo

Wound*

bibblebub

ENTWINED is a synonym for WOUND e.g. "the two cables are wound around each other" / "the two cables are entwined"
