Power conveyed by biggest characters of Richard E Grant? (7)
I believe the answer is:
present
'grant?' is the definition.
(granting is a kind of presenting)
'power conveyed by biggest characters of' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'conveyed' becomes 'sent' (convey can mean to send or transport).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'biggest characters of' becomes 're' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'sent' put after 're' is 'resent'.
'p'+'resent'='PRESENT'
'richard e' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for present that I've seen before include "able to be registered" , "Current" , "In attendance with award?" , "gift > offer" , "Serpent (anag.)" .)
