Drawn - from the past for example? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tense
This clue is a double definition.
'drawn' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the past for example?' is the second definition.
(past tense)
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for tense that I've seen before include "far from comfortable" , "Rigid, or grammatical time" , "Nerve-racking" , "present, perhaps?" , "quite possibly perfect" .)
