Rented for some little time (3)
I believe the answer is:
let
'rented' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'some little time' is the wordplay.
'LET' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for let that I've seen before include "Award (a contract)" , "inefficient service" , "& 15 Triple (anag.)" , "Allowed or rented out" , "Allow; rental period" .)
