Bury's season lacking direction from the start (5)
I believe the answer is:
inter
'bury's' is the definition.
('inter' can be a synonym of 'bury')
'from the start' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'the start' becomes 'ter' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in'+'ter'='INTER'
'season lacking direction' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Bury a body - in the middle?" , "Prefix meaning between or among" , "foreign footballers" , "Put underground" , "Bury - Milan football club" .)
