Make too little of magic drink, wanting the power to vanish? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
sell short
'magic drink wanting the power to vanish?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'make too little' is the wordplay.
'make too' becomes 'sell' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'little' becomes 'short' (similar in meaning).
'sell'+'short'='SELL SHORT'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sell short that I've seen before include "Make light of" , "Disparage, belittle" , "Undervalue (someone)" , "what bears do" , "Underestimate the value or worth of, dispose of for too little" .)
