Lessee takes time off, first to get permission and move (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
en passant
'lessee takes time off first to get permission' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'and move' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
'move' could be 'pass' (passing is a kind of moving) and 'pass' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for en passant that I've seen before include "while going by" , "In passing like chess move" , "Way of capturing pawn" , "Incidentally, in the course of doing something else" , "By the way or in passing, as in chess move" .)
