Partly open a drink (4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
ajar
'partly open' is the definition.
(as in a door which has been left ajar)
'a drink' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'jar' (colloquial).
'a'+'jar'='AJAR'
(Other definitions for ajar that I've seen before include "partly opened" , "Not quite closed" , "Half open" , "near closing?" , "Mourn" .)
