Make much of time in charge (4)
I believe the answer is:
fete
'make much' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'time in charge' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'charge' becomes 'fee' (fee is a kind of charge).
't' placed inside 'fee' is 'FETE'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fete that I've seen before include "Organised outdoor party or charitable event" , "Outdoor entertainment or sale, may be for charity" , "Outdoor entertainment run for charity" , "Wine and dine" , "Big outdoor party" .)
