atrophic  can't be right as it ends with E. Sorry

Etiolate? to become weak

[Deersold1]

atrophic  can't be right as it ends with E. I suppose it could be ATROPHIE

[Deersold1]

Thanks for that. My brain has etiolated  😄 

[Deersold1]

The E must be wrong. It's come from the word concentrated. The clue was famous politician  took part in a Eucharist. C?N???E?R?T?D

Yes got it now etiolate, so sorry, chemo drugs are making me stupid.  I've finished it now  anyway. Easy crossword usually can do it quickly.  I'll go back to  the Times one. At least if I can't finish it I don't feel so stupid.
