Partner after divorce papers, say? (7)
I believe the answer is:
express
'say?' is the definition.
(to express something is to say it)
'partner after divorce papers' is the wordplay.
'partner' becomes 'e'.
'after divorce' becomes 'x' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'papers' becomes 'press' (the newspaper industry).
'e'+'x'+'press'='EXPRESS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for express that I've seen before include "Verbalise - very fast" , "Verbalise - train" , "Articulate, give voice to" , "Fast train; specific" , "Swift" .)
