About a little money not long issued (6)
I believe the answer is:
recent
'not long issued' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can occasionally mean the same thing.
'about a little money' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'a little money' becomes 'cent' (coin of little value).
're'+'cent'='RECENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recent that I've seen before include "Shortly before the present" , "Modern -- centre (anag)" , "Having happened not long ago" , "Happening lately" , "Fresh, modern" .)
