Legal expenses for Greek island taking evacuated Turks (5)
I believe the answer is:
costs
'legal expenses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'greek island taking evacuated turks' is the wordplay.
'greek island' becomes 'cos' (I've seen this before).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'evacuated' means to remove the middle letters.
'turks' with its centre taken out is 'ts'.
'cos'+'ts'='COSTS'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for costs that I've seen before include "Charges" , "Legal expenses" , "Expenditure" , "Damages" , "Overheads" .)
