Crossword Genius

Drawn - from the past for example? (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
