Disallow corsets, yet lasts longer? (8)
I believe the answer is:
outstays
'yet lasts longer?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'disallow corsets' is the wordplay.
'disallow' becomes 'out' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'corsets' becomes 'stays' (I've seen this before).
'out'+'stays'='OUTSTAYS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for outstays that I've seen is " Remains too long".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
