Alcoholic spirit banned in property? Say again (7)
I believe the answer is:
restate
'say again' is the definition.
('state' can be a synonym for 'say' so perhaps 'restate' is OK for 'say again')
'alcoholic spirit banned in property?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'property?' could be 'estate' (estate is a kind of property) and 'estate' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restate that I've seen before include "Go over" , "say, a different way" , "say, in other words" , "Once more affirm" .)
