Set free or let out again? (8)
I believe the answer is:
released
'set free' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'let out again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'let' could be 'leased' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'leased' is found in the answer.
'again?' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for released that I've seen before include "free after imprisonment?" , "Freed from confinement" , "Set free" , "Discharged" , "Sent from prison" .)
