Day rent fell? (7)
I believe the answer is:
dripped
'fell?' is the definition.
(dripping is a kind of falling)
'day rent' is the wordplay.
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'rent' becomes 'ripped' (synonyms).
'd'+'ripped'='DRIPPED'
(Another definition for dripped that I've seen is " Fell in drops".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
