Divine haul, even without Nelly's contribution (8)
I believe the answer is:
heavenly
'divine' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'haul even without nelly's contribution' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'haul' could be 'heave' (I've seen this before) and 'heave' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heavenly that I've seen before include "Wonderful" , "Blissful" , "Glorious" , "Divine" , "Celestial" .)
