Inspired aim maybe to drink tea out about four (11)
I believe the answer is:
imaginative
'inspired' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'aim maybe to drink tea out about four' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'aim' is 'ima' which is present in the answer.
'drink' could be 'gin' (gin is a kind of drink) and 'gin' is located in the answer.
'tea' could be 't' (I've seen this in other clues) and 't' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'four' could be 'iv' ('IV' can be a synonym of 'four') and 'iv' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imaginative that I've seen before include "far from dull" , "Full of bright ideas" , "Ingenious" , "Creative, inventive" , "Showing inventiveness" .)
