Praise almost imparted by husband once (5)
I believe the answer is:
extol
'praise almost' is the definition.
'extol' can be an answer for 'praise' (extolling is a kind of praising). I'm not sure about the 'almost' bit.
'imparted by husband once' is the wordplay.
'imparted' becomes 'tol' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'husband once' becomes 'ex' (an ex-husband).
'tol' after 'ex' is 'EXTOL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extol that I've seen before include "Acclaim" , "Cry up" , "Warmly approve of" , "Talk up" , "Praise greatly" .)
