Charge dime after peeling fruit (7)
I believe the answer is:
impeach
'charge dime' is the definition.
'impeach' can be an answer for 'charge' (impeachment means charging a public official). I am unsure of the 'dime' bit.
'after peeling fruit' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'peeling' becomes 'im' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fruit' becomes 'peach' (type of fruit).
'im' next to 'peach' is 'IMPEACH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Bring an accusation against" , "In America, charge with misconduct - say President" , "Charge with a crime (against the state)" , "Charge public official with misconduct - Clinton?" , "Arraign, charge" .)
