Dawn’s salary hike supporting daily (7)
I believe the answer is:
sunrise
'dawn's' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'hike supporting daily' is the wordplay.
'hike' becomes 'rise' (synonyms).
'supporting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'daily' becomes 'sun' (daily UK newspaper).
'rise' put after 'sun' is 'SUNRISE'.
'salary' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sunrise that I've seen before include "What follows dawn" , "Type of industry" , "Daybreak" , "Day's beginning" , "It gets the day off to a bright start" .)
