George to come into view in partial darkness (5)
I believe the answer is:
gloom
'partial darkness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'george to come into view' is the wordplay.
'george' becomes 'g'.
'to come into view' becomes 'loom' ('loom' can be a synonym of 'come into view').
'g'+'loom'='GLOOM'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for gloom that I've seen before include "Dimness" , "Melancholy state" , "Murkiness" , "Despondency" , "Cloudiness" .)
