Hand over former business lodging appeal (9)
I believe the answer is:
extradite
'hand over' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'former business lodging appeal' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'former' could be 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime) and 'ex' is located in the answer.
'appeal' could be 'it' ('it' can mean something attractive or appealing) and 'it' is found in the answer.
'business' could be 'trade' (trade is a kind of business) and 'trade' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extradite that I've seen before include "Hand over abroad" , "Send home" , "Hand over for trial in another country" , "Hand over for trial to another jurisdiction" , "Hand over to a foreign government for trial" .)
