Dry or wet, she cares and runs out on time at last (5)
I believe the answer is:
nurse
'dry or wet she cares' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'runs out on time at last' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'at last' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'time' is 'e'.
'runs' is an anagram of 'nurs'.
'nurs'+'e'='NURSE'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nurse that I've seen before include "Hospital employee" , "Child minder" , "Nightingale" , "Type of shark" , "One ministering to the sick" .)
