Incomplete clue for party? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
half-done
'party?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'incomplete clue' is the wordplay.
'incomplete' becomes 'half' (similar in meaning).
'clue' becomes 'done' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'half'+'done'='HALF-DONE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for half-done that I've seen is " Well begun, they say".)
