Exposure contracted during excursion? (6)
I believe the answer is:
outing
'excursion?' is the definition.
(I know that excursion can be written as outing)
'exposure contracted during' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'during' could be 'in' (e.g. during February means in February) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outing that I've seen before include "Day excursion" , "journey" , "Excursion, trip" , "Jaunt" , "Revealing orientation" .)
