At last, was it almost Tuesday? (5)
I believe the answer is:
night
'at last was it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'almost tuesday?' is the wordplay.
'almost' becomes 'nigh' (nigh can mean almost or nearly).
'tuesday?' becomes 't'.
'nigh'+'t'='NIGHT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for night that I've seen before include "Hours of darkness" , "Thing (anag)" , "Tennyson's "black bat"" , "Darkness; see you in the morning" , "death" .)
