Man getting time out of prison (3)
I believe the answer is:
sir
'man' is the definition.
(sir is a kind of man)
'time out of prison' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'out of' suggests deleting specific letters.
'prison' becomes 'stir' (informal term for prison).
'stir' with 't' taken out is 'SIR'.
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sir that I've seen before include "Honourable title" , "Male title of respect" , "Formal and deferential address to a man" , "Noble title of undesirable kind" , "Honorary male title" .)
