Recompensed in return for babywear (6)
I believe the answer is:
diaper
'babywear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'recompensed in return' is the wordplay.
'recompensed' becomes 'repaid' (I've seen this before).
'in return' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (return can mean to go backwards).
'repaid' reversed gives 'DIAPER'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diaper that I've seen before include "type of paving" , "An American nappy" , "Baby's nappy" .)
