Drummer allowed sweetheart to be full? (7)
I believe the answer is:
replete
'be full?' is the definition.
('replete' can be a synonym of 'full')
'drummer allowed sweetheart' is the wordplay.
'drummer' becomes 'rep' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'allowed' becomes 'let' (to let is to allow or permit).
'sweetheart' becomes 'e' (the heart/centre of 'sweet').
'rep'+'let'+'e'='REPLETE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for replete that I've seen before include "Chock-a-block" , "Well-supplied" , "Stuffed, gorged, sated" , "Filled, well supplied" , "Filled to satisfaction" .)
