Set up for driving (4)
I believe the answer is:
teed
'driving' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally define each other.
'set up' is the wordplay.
'set' becomes 'tee' (teeing is a kind of setting).
'up' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tee'+'d'='TEED'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
