Deny receiving grand for time in resort (6)
I believe the answer is:
refuge
'resort' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for refuge that I've seen before include "we aim for on the way?" , "Safe haven" , "Shelter or protection from danger or trouble" , "Traffic island" , "Place of safety" .)
