Daughter pokes around, having time for some publishing (7)
I believe the answer is:
desktop
'some publishing' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'daughter pokes around having time' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'around' indicates an anagram.
'having' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'pokes' is an anagram of 'eskop'.
'eskop' enclosing 't' is 'esktop'.
'd'+'esktop'='DESKTOP'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for desktop that I've seen before include "Kind of PC (for publishing?)" , "working area in office" , "Location of icons" , "Working surface, computer screen area" , "Publishers'" .)
