For the present it shall be nameless (9,4)
I believe the answer is:
anonymous gift
'for' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'present it shall be nameless' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'present' could be 'gift' (synonyms) and 'gift' is found in the answer.
'nameless' could be 'anonymous' (similar in meaning) and 'anonymous' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
