Playing in duet, no longer having strings attached? (6)
I believe the answer is:
untied
'no longer having strings attached?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'playing in duet' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'duet'='induet'
'induet' with letters rearranged gives 'UNTIED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for untied that I've seen before include "Not fastened" , "Undid the knot" , "'Unfastened, lace say (6)'" , "Lacking any fetters" , "Unfastened, knot say" .)
