Extremely delicate necklace for a charge? (9)
I believe the answer is:
dependant
'for a charge?' is the definition.
(charge is a kind of dependant)
'extremely delicate necklace' is the wordplay.
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters (only the extremes of the word are used).
'necklace' becomes 'pendant' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'delicate' with its middle removed is 'de'.
'de'+'pendant'='DEPENDANT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dependant that I've seen before include "Client" , "Subject to" , "Dented pan? (anag)" , "Protg" , "Child maybe" .)
