word - Will Riley Riddles ever end?



Maybe, maybe not — but the answer won't.





My prefix is the first half of what was before.


My suffix curses Scotland in red and no more.


My infix is a hotshot when scrambled (what egg?).


I am twice my definition; I begin with a beg.



What am I?





Hint:



The answer to the riddle can be found in front of you,
Including all the clues except the second one through.

The pun is quite a hint — the answer is in every word!
In the riddle, it is seen; in the beginning, it is heard.




Answer

Prefix




My prefix is the first half of what was before.



Literally, pre (The word 'prefix' come before in the sentence and half of it is 'pre' and pre = before)



My suffix curses Scotland in red and no more.



Curse of Scotland = 9 of Diamond. 9 in Roman numerals is ix



My infix is a hotshot when scrambled (what egg?).




When you scramble refi, you get 'fire' which is literally hot.



I am twice my definition; I begin with a beg.



Prefix of begin is beg. Hence, begin begins with a beg.
