Husband, a duke, taken for ride (3)
I believe the answer is:
had
'taken for ride' is the definition.
'had' can be an answer for 'taken' ('have' can be a synonym of 'take'). I'm not certain of the 'for ride' bit.
'husband a duke' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'duke' becomes 'd' (abbreviation).
'h'+'a'+'d'='HAD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for had that I've seen before include "Owned in the past" , "Taken in" , "Was bound to be - caught" , "Possessed; cheated" , "Was in possession of" .)
