Current charge? (4)
I believe the answer is:
rent
'current charge?' is the definition.
'rent' can be an answer for 'charge?' (I've seen this in other clues). I am not sure about the 'current' bit.
'current charge?' is the wordplay.
'RENT' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rent that I've seen before include "Payment due to landlord" , "Payment for lodging etc" , "Let out - torn" , "Tear; hire fee" , "Tenant's payment" .)
