Lacking money, start to sell sportswear? (6)
I believe the answer is:
shorts
'sell sportswear?' is the definition.
'shorts' can be an answer for 'sportswear?'. I'm not certain of the 'sell' bit.
'lacking money start' is the wordplay.
'lacking' becomes 'short' (to be short something is to lack it).
'money start' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'short'+'s'='SHORTS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shorts that I've seen before include "Garment" , "Reduced trousers" , "Boxers" , "Summer trousers" , "Item of clothing; drinks of spirit" .)
