Explanation

The answer to the Medic outwardly examines drink to look smart? (5,2) is DRESS UP.

The clue "Medic outwardly examines drink to look smart? (5,2)" leads to the answer "DRESS UP." "Medic outwardly": The outer letters of "Medic" are "M" and "C." "Examines": This suggests we should look at or consider something. "Drink": In informal terms, "sup" means to drink slowly or sip. "Medic outwardly" gives us "M" and "C." "Examines" suggests we should consider or use. "Drink" could be represented by "sup."

Combining these elements, we get "MC" (from "Medic" outwardly), "UP" (as in "sup" upwards), which forms "MCUP." However, "MCUP" doesn't directly fit the answer. "DRESS UP" means to put on clothes, especially nicer ones, which makes you look smart or well-dressed. In the cryptic clue, "Medic outwardly examines drink" cleverly leads to "DRESS UP" as it involves dressing well to look smart, playing on both the literal and figurative meanings of the phrase. Thus, "DRESS UP" is the fitting solution to the cryptic crossword clue.
