Equip a mother with part in complicated process (10)
I believe the answer is:
rigamarole
'complicated process' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'equip a mother with part' is the wordplay.
'equip' becomes 'rig' (rigging is a kind of equiping).
'mother' becomes 'ma' (Ma is another word for mother or mum).
'with part' becomes 'role' (eg a theatrical role. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'rig'+'a'+'ma'+'role'='RIGAMAROLE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
