All in clothes before start of year (5)
I believe the answer is:
weary
'all in' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'start of year' is the wordplay.
'start' becomes 'w' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'year' is an anagram of 'eary'.
'w'+'eary'='WEARY'
'clothes before' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weary that I've seen before include "Ready to drop" , "Worn-out" , "Whacked" , "Physically and mentally fatigued" , "Tired - bored" .)
