Permitted drops of water to escape, but not the ball? (8)
I believe the answer is:
dribbled
'permitted drops of water to escape' is the definition.
(dribbling lets drops of saliva out)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dribbled that I've seen is " Drooled".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
