Made to pay for a kiss during a date, maybe (5)
I believe the answer is:
taxed
'made to pay' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a kiss during a date maybe' is the wordplay.
'a kiss' becomes 'x'.
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'date' anagrammed gives 'taed'.
'x' put within 'taed' is 'TAXED'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for taxed that I've seen before include "Stretched" , "Was demanding" , "Heavily burdened" , "Levied a duty on" , "Weighed down" .)
