Section from Gazette , a second-rate rag (5)
I believe the answer is:
tease
'rate rag' is the definition.
'tease' can be an answer for 'rag' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'rate' bit.
'section from gazette a second' is the wordplay.
'section' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TEASE' can be found hidden inside 'from gazette a second'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Comb to remove tangles and open out the fibres" , "Rag" , "Banter, provoke gently" , "Gently make fun of (someone)" , "Kid" .)
