Are unsteady daughters being given more rum? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dodder
'are unsteady' is the definition.
'daughters being given more rum?' is the wordplay.
'daughters' becomes 'd'.
'being given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'more rum?' becomes 'odder' (I've seen this before).
'd'+'odder'='DODDER'
(Other definitions for dodder that I've seen before include "Walk unsteadily along the Dublin river?" , "go falteringly" , "Hesitate" , "Tremble from age" , "Be slow and unsteady" .)
