Compensate for back-to-front set off (6)
I believe the answer is:
offset
'compensate for' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'back-to-front set off' is the wordplay.
'set off' anagrams to 'OFFSET'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offset that I've seen before include "Amount by which a thing is out of line" , "Place at an angle to the main alignment" , "Place out of line" , "Balance out" , "Type of printing of efts" .)
