A tourist on vacation suffered with a partner (8)
I believe the answer is:
attached
'a tourist on vacation suffered with a partner' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'a tourist on vacation suffered with a' is the wordplay.
'on vacation' suggests removing the centre.
'suffered' becomes 'ached' ('ache' can be a synonym of 'suffer').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tourist' with its centre taken out is 'tt'.
'tt'+'ached'='ttached'
'ttached' put after 'a' is 'ATTACHED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attached that I've seen before include "Stuck" , "Appended or added to" , "Affixed" , "Connected, associated" , "Joined, connected" .)
