Arresting for wearing on the track? (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
running in
'arresting' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'wearing on the track?' is the wordplay.
'wearing' becomes 'in' (you are 'in' the clothes you're wearing).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the track?' becomes 'running' ('running' can be a synonym of 'track').
'in' put after 'running' is 'RUNNING IN'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
