Great care taken with sheets of glass reportedly (5)
I believe the answer is:
pains
'great care' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'taken with sheets of glass reportedly' is the wordplay.
'taken with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sheets of' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'glass' becomes 'pane' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'pane' is a homophone of 'pain'.
's' put after 'pain' is 'PAINS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pains that I've seen before include "troubles?" , "Symptoms of hurt or disease" , "Nice bakery's production" , "Great care taken" , "Labour" .)
