Clue I interpreted? Time to clarify! (9)
I believe the answer is:
elucidate
'clarify' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'clue i interpreted? time' is the wordplay.
'interpreted?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'interpreted' mean this).
'time' becomes 'date' (date is a kind of time).
'clue'+'i'='cluei'
'cluei' is an anagram of 'eluci'.
'eluci'+'date'='ELUCIDATE'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for elucidate that I've seen before include "Throw light on a problem, make clear (9)" , "Shed light upon" , "Make clear, explain" , "Make clear and more comprehensible" , "Shed light on, clarify" .)
