Draw a stretch of land? About time (7)
I believe the answer is:
attract
'draw' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a stretch of land? about time' is the wordplay.
'stretch of land?' becomes 'tract' (I've seen this before).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'tract' put after 't' is 'ttract'.
'a'+'ttract'='ATTRACT'
(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "Draw towards like a magnet" , "Bring in" , "Draw to oneself" , "to be appealing" , "Allure" .)
