Can somebody explain 7d."Paper folding in spring almost a first for Murdoch". I've got ORIGAMI but I'm blowed if I can see the relevance to the clue - aside from paper folding, of course

[piggling]

spring almost=origi(n)+a +first of (m)urdoch

[Muffinbear]

ORIGIN without the N (Spring Almost) = ORIGI
AM (A first for Murdoch) insider

Thank you both for the swift response. I still cannot equate Spring to Origin.

definition of origin

[C16: from French origine, from Latin orīgō beginning, birth, from orīrī to rise, spring from]

Can't argue with that, Shooty. Very many thanks

welcome : )
