Result in published issue (7)
I believe the answer is:
outcome
'result' is the definition.
(I know that result can be written as outcome)
'published issue' is the wordplay.
'published' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in another clue).
'issue' becomes 'come' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'out'+'come'='OUTCOME'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outcome that I've seen before include "Consequence, upshot" , "consequences" , "Result or consequence" , "Cute moo (anag.)" , "Denouement" .)
