Managed to get one in bad conditions (4)
I believe the answer is:
rain
'managed to get one in bad conditions' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'managed to get one in' is the wordplay.
'managed to get' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ran' going around 'i' is 'RAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rain that I've seen before include "Fall wetly" , "eg A shower" , "The ---, it ---eth every day (T.Night)" , "Falling water" , "bad weather" .)
