Old relative managed after touch of gout (4)
I believe the answer is:
gran
'old relative' is the definition.
'gran' can be an answer for 'relative' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'old' bit.
'managed after touch of gout' is the wordplay.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'touch of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'gout' is 'g'.
'ran' after 'g' is 'GRAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gran that I've seen before include "Older relative" , "Rang (anag.)" , "old lady" , "She's of an older generation, in short" , "elderly relative" .)
