Best delivery company label with English (7)
I believe the answer is:
upstage
'best' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'delivery company label with english' is the wordplay.
'delivery company' becomes 'ups' (I've seen this in other clues).
'label' becomes 'tag' (tag is a kind of label).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'ups'+'tag'+'e'='UPSTAGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upstage that I've seen before include "Divert attention from someone towards yourself" , "(Of actor) away from the audience" , "Stand-offish (sl.)" , "Outdo" , "Take the limelight from" .)
