Modern father getting weirdly tense in Derry, oddly (7-3)
I believe the answer is:
present-day
'modern' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'father getting weirdly tense in derry oddly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'father' could be 'da' (da can mean dad) and 'da' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'tense' is 'esent' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pry' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for present-day that I've seen before include "Current time" , "Contemporary" .)
