I’m leaving additional part of match around one, heading for car, to get clear (9)
I believe the answer is:
extricate
'clear' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'i'm leaving additional part of match around one heading for car' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i'm' could be 'i' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'around' could be 'ca' (circa) and 'ca' is located in the answer.
'car' could be 't' and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extricate that I've seen before include "wriggle free" , "Free (something) from difficulty" , "get out from difficult situation" , "Disentangle, release from difficulty" , "Free from entanglement" .)
