Love affair in morning time when husband’s away (5)
I believe the answer is:
amour
'love affair' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'morning time when husband's away' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'morning' could be 'am' and 'am' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'our' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amour that I've seen before include "French love affair, usually secret" , "Affair of the heart" , "Loved one (French)" , "Love affair, perhaps secret" , "(Illicit) sexual relationship" .)
