Open on one? I object to working more (8)
I believe the answer is:
overtime
'working more' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'open on one? i object' is the wordplay.
'open' becomes 'overt' (associated in meaning).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one?' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'i object' becomes 'me'.
'overt'+'i'+'me'='OVERTIME'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overtime that I've seen before include "Hours worked and paid for beyond the usual amount" , "Work beyond normal hours? Remove it" , "Hours worked in excess of usual" , "Extra hours worked" , "Work in excess of fixed period" .)
