Ecstasy-laced shot editor fancied (7)
I believe the answer is:
dreamed
'fancied' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'ecstasy-laced shot editor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ecstasy' could be 'e' (informal term for the drug) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'shot' could be 'dram' (of whisky say) and 'dram' is found in the leftover letters.
'editor' could be 'ed' (abbreviation) and 'ed' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dreamed that I've seen before include "had nightmare" , "suffered delusions" , "Had fantasies" , "Had a vision" , "Imagined" .)
