Recompensed for sending back baby linen (6)
I believe the answer is:
repaid
'recompensed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sending back baby linen' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'back' could be 'aid' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'aid' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'rep' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repaid that I've seen before include "Compensated" , "Recompensed" , "Returned" , "Diaper (anag.)" , "Reimbursed" .)
