Do we finish outside when given funding? (7)
I believe the answer is:
endowed
'given funding?' is the definition.
'endowed' can be an answer for 'given' (endowing is a kind of giving). I'm not sure about the 'funding?' bit.
'do we finish outside' is the wordplay.
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'do'+'we'='dowe'
'dowe' going into 'end' is 'ENDOWED'.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endowed that I've seen before include "Given, bequeathed" , "Left" , "Provided with permanent income or ability" , "Given a permanent income" , "Invested" .)
