Rector charging hundred for rent (4)
I believe the answer is:
torn
'rent' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'rector charging hundred' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'rector' could be 'r' and 'r' is present in the answer.
'hundred' could be 'ton' (I've seen this before) and 'ton' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for torn that I've seen before include "Removed forcibly" , "In a state of uncertainty between two conflicting options" , "Ripped - undecided" , "Divided" , "Having rips" .)
