Prisoner delighted to give permission for it? (7)
I believe the answer is:
consent
'give permission for it?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'prisoner delighted' is the wordplay.
'prisoner' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict').
'delighted' becomes 'sent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'con'+'sent'='CONSENT'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for consent that I've seen before include "Give permission for something" , "Agree or permit" , "Agree (to do something)" , "Say yes to something" , "Agree or comply" .)
