Want to get rid of Dad? (6)
I believe the answer is:
desire
'want' is the definition.
(I know that want can be written as desire)
'rid of dad?' is the wordplay.
'rid of' becomes 'de' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dad?' becomes 'sire' (sire can mean father).
'de'+'sire'='DESIRE'
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for desire that I've seen before include "Strong wish" , "Concupiscence" , "Want strongly" , "Wish for strongly" , "Lust" .)
