Magnetism of mother taking daily lives ahead (8)
I believe the answer is:
charisma
'magnetism' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'mother taking daily lives ahead' is the wordplay.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (Ma is another word for mother or mum).
'taking daily' becomes 'char' (both can mean a cleaner. I am not sure about the 'taking' bit.).
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'ahead' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go in front of others).
'char'+'is'='charis'
'ma' put after 'charis' is 'CHARISMA'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charisma that I've seen before include "quality inspiring devotion" , "Compelling attractiveness" , "Pull" , "attractive quality" , "magnetic quality" .)
