Miserable time to spend week in Bury (5)
I believe the answer is:
inter
'bury' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'miserable time to spend week in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Settle in ground" , "somewhere between ..." , "Entomb" , "Send to ground" , "an Italian soccer team?" .)
