Max out roaming….even drops (9)
I believe the answer is:
overspend
'max out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'roaming even drops' is the wordplay.
'roaming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'even'+'drops'='evendrops'
'evendrops' is an anagram of 'OVERSPEND'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overspend that I've seen before include "To exceed one's budget" , "splurge" , "Use up too much money" , "extravagant" , "Consume too much" .)
