She gives a direction to the printer to erase (5)
I believe the answer is:
adele
'she' is the definition.
'a direction to the printer to erase' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'direction' could be 'l' (short for left) and 'l' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'gives' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adele that I've seen before include "Singer with albums titled 19, 21 and 25" , "Woman" , "Female singer from London" , "girl" , "Performer" .)
