Exposure to sun in quarantine, around noon (10)
I believe the answer is:
insolation
'exposure to sun' is the definition.
(insolation means exposure to the sun)
'quarantine around noon' is the wordplay.
'quarantine' becomes 'isolation' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'noon' becomes 'n'.
'isolation' placed around 'n' is 'INSOLATION'.
'in' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
