Charlie forgetting ending (7)
I believe the answer is:
closing
'ending' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'charlie forgetting' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'charlie' could be 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'c' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'losing' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for closing that I've seen before include "Ending" , "Finishing" , "packing up" , "Shutting" .)
