Measured out by me and Edward (5)
I believe the answer is:
meted
'measured out' is the definition.
'meted' can be an answer for 'measured' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'out' bit.
'me and edward' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'edward' becomes 'ted' ().
'me'+'ted'='METED'
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for meted that I've seen is " Handed out in small portions".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
