Bear out in wood has time for snack (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
tea-break
'snack' is the definition.
(I know that tea break is a type of snack)
'bear out in wood' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wood' becomes 'teak' (type of timber).
'bear' with letters rearranged gives 'eabr'.
'eabr' inserted within 'teak' is 'TEA-BREAK'.
'has time for' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
