Proverb about time not slipping away (7)
I believe the answer is:
staying
'not slipping away' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'proverb about time' is the wordplay.
'proverb' becomes 'saying' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'saying' going around 't' is 'STAYING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for staying that I've seen is " Remaining in the same place".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
