Connected pusher sent up? About time! (7)
I believe the answer is:
related
'connected' is the definition.
(relating is a kind of connecting)
'pusher sent up? about time' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'sent' could be 'elated' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'elated' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for related that I've seen before include "Kin; connected" , "Father and son have to be" , "Having family links" , "As siblings obviously are" , "Told; linked" .)
