Discharged from rear into nappy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diaper

'nappy' is the definition.
('diaper' can be a synonym of 'nappy')

'discharged from rear' is the wordplay.
'discharged' becomes 'repaid'.
'from rear' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'repaid' backwards is 'DIAPER'.

'into' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for diaper that I've seen before include "type of paving" , "Baby's nappy" , "An American nappy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
