Compensate two females with broken toes (6)
I believe the answer is:
offset
'compensate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'two females with broken toes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'females' could be 'ff' (an abbreviation for female written twice) and 'ff' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'toes' is 'oset' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offset that I've seen before include "Amount by which something is out of line" , "Counterbalance(d)" , "Compensation - printing process" , "Balance out" , "make an effort" .)
