A short way, with some danger, to get even for something (6)
I believe the answer is:
avenge
'for something' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a short way with some danger to get even' is the wordplay.
'a short way' becomes 'ave' (abbreviation for avenue; 'short' asks for an abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some' means to look at the middle letters.
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'even' indicates alternate letters (letters in even-numbered positions are used).
The centre of 'danger' is 'ng'.
The alternating letters of 'get' are 'e'.
'ave'+'ng'+'e'='AVENGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avenge that I've seen before include "Indulge in retaliation" , "Exact retribution on behalf of (someone)" , "Inflict harm in return (for wrong)" , "Inflict retribution" , "eg Nave (anag.)" .)
