Ace with gin turned out of bar (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
apart from
'bar' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'ace with gin turned out of' is the wordplay.
'ace with' becomes 'a' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'gin' becomes 'trap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'out of' becomes 'from' (I've seen this before).
'trap' back-to-front is 'part'.
'a'+'part'+'from'='APART FROM'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
