Partly decorates a bedroom in retirement to add value? Far from it! (6)
I believe the answer is:
debase
'add value? far from it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'partly decorates a bedroom in retirement' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue is used).
'in retirement' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (retire can mean to go back or backwards).
'esabed' can be found hidden inside 'decorates a bedroom'.
'esabed' reversed gives 'DEBASE'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debase that I've seen before include "dishonour" , "Depreciate or humiliate" , "Lower, degrade" , "Humble" , "Lower in value or quality, sometimes currency" .)
