Local time -- simple to comprehend it (6)
I believe the answer is:
native
'local' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'time simple to comprehend it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
'simple' could be 'naive' (similar in meaning) and 'naive' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for native that I've seen before include "Indigenous person" , "Local inhabitant" , "Original inhabitant" , "Belonging to one by birth" , "mother" .)
