Managed to get one in bad conditions (4)
I believe the answer is:
rain
'managed to get one in bad conditions' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'managed to get one in' is the wordplay.
'managed to get' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'ran' placed around 'i' is 'RAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rain that I've seen before include "Fall wetly" , "eg A shower" , "The ---, it ---eth every day (T.Night)" , "Falling water" , "bad weather" .)
