Illegally take ketamine, then I would sleep (6)
I believe the answer is:
kidnap
'illegally take ketamine then i would sleep' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'ketamine then i would sleep' is the wordplay.
'ketamine' becomes 'k' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'then' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'i would' becomes 'I'd'.
'sleep' becomes 'nap' (a nap is a short sleep).
'k'+'id'+'nap'='KIDNAP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kidnap that I've seen before include "Shanghai, abduct" , "Take as hostage" , "Abduct and hold for ransom" , "Take person prisoner for ransom" , "Small island" .)
