Dad’s succeeded, getting this? (4)
I believe the answer is:
pass
'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'dad's succeeded getting' is the wordplay.
'dad's' becomes 'pa's' (both can mean one's father).
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pas'+'s'='PASS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pass that I've seen before include "Succeed; overtake" , "Search me" , "pointless bid" , "what the Galibier is" , "Amorous advance" .)
