A deadly sin all right (6)
I believe the answer is:
agreed
'all right' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a deadly sin' is the wordplay.
'deadly sin' becomes 'greed' (greed is a kind of deadly sin).
'a'+'greed'='AGREED'
(Other definitions for agreed that I've seen before include "Did concur" , "In harmony" , "Corresponded" , "Accorded" , "granted" .)
