Dimly illuminated legal document briefly digested by singer (6)
I believe the answer is:
twilit
'dimly illuminated' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'legal document briefly digested by singer' is the wordplay.
'legal document' becomes 'will' (a will is a type of legal document).
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'digested' indicates putting letters inside.
'by singer' becomes 'tit' (type of songbird. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'will' with its last letter removed is 'wil'.
'wil' put within 'tit' is 'TWILIT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twilit that I've seen before include "Road surfacing" , "Not being fully illuminated" , "Somewhat dim" , "dusky?" , "dim, naturally" .)
