Make to last less than a weekend (3)
I believe the answer is:
eke
'make to last' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'less than a weekend' is the wordplay.
'less' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue less some of the letters in it).
'EKE' can be found hidden inside 'than weekend'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eke that I've seen before include "Make a living laboriously - a palindrome" , "Increase, lengthen" , "Stretch (out); in addition (archaic)" , "To -- out is to add to" , "long ago" .)
