Misses prodigal son? Not entirely (4)
I believe the answer is:
gals
'misses' is the definition.
('gal' can be a synonym of 'miss')
'prodigal son? not entirely' is the wordplay.
'not entirely' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GALS' is hidden in the letters of 'prodigal son'.
(Another definition for gals that I've seen is " Sloanes, say".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
