She always looks washed out on half days (5)
I believe the answer is:
wanda
'she' is the definition.
'washed out on half days' is the wordplay.
'washed out' becomes 'wan' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'half' suggests halving the letters.
'days' with half the letters taken is 'da'.
'wan'+'da'='WANDA'
'always looks' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wanda that I've seen before include "Fishy girl's name?" , "A Fish Called - - : film" , "Female" , "so-called fish?" , "Name of flower - or fish!" .)
