Forward on loan? (8)
I believe the answer is:
advanced
'forward on loan?' is the definition.
'advanced' can be an answer for 'forward' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'on loan?' bit.
'forward on loan?' is the wordplay.
'forward' becomes 'advance'.
'on loan?' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'advance'+'d'='ADVANCED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for advanced that I've seen before include "Precocious" , "provided loan" , "progressive" , "Far ahead in development or progress" , "The latest" .)
