Appeal emotionally for a loan (5)
I believe the answer is:
touch
'appeal' is the definition.
(I know that touch is a type of solicitation)
'emotionally for a loan' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for touch that I've seen before include "Deal with" , "Deftness" , "Move" , "Distinctive detail" , "skill" .)
