Be miffed when the quarters get let out (6)
I believe the answer is:
resent
'be miffed when' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'quarters get let out' is the wordplay.
'quarters' becomes 'se' (south and east, two compass quarters).
'get' is an insertion indicator.
'let out' becomes 'rent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'se' put inside 'rent' is 'RESENT'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resent that I've seen before include "Feel bad about" , "Don't like" , "Nurse bitter or angry feeling" , "Enters (anag)" , "Object to" .)
