To a point, an old-fashioned way to be tranquilised (7)
I believe the answer is:
sedated
'to be tranquilised' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'to a point an old-fashioned' is the wordplay.
'to a point' becomes 'SE' (SE is an example).
'an old fashioned' becomes 'dated' (I've seen this before).
'se'+'dated'='SEDATED'
'way' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedated that I've seen before include "Tranquilised" , "Calmed with drugs" , "kept calm" , "Given calming drugs" , "out for the count!" .)
