Crossword Genius

Garland certain to get free time (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leisure

'free time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'garland certain' is the wordplay.
'garland' becomes 'lei' (synonyms).
'certain' becomes 'sure' (synonyms).
'lei'+'sure'='LEISURE'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for leisure that I've seen before include "Time to rest and enjoy" , "Rest, relaxation" , "days off" , "Use lire (anag)" , "Time for relaxing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
