Got back from a diner, eg, the worse for wear (8)
I believe the answer is:
regained
'got back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a diner eg the worse for wear' is the wordplay.
'the worse for wear' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'diner'+'eg'='adinereg'
'adinereg' anagrammed gives 'REGAINED'.
'from' is the link.
(Another definition for regained that I've seen is " Got back".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
