Right! I have followed first day back exercises and strip (7)
I believe the answer is:
deprive
'strip' is the definition.
(I know that strip can be written as deprive)
'right i have followed first day back exercises' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'i have' becomes 'I've' (contraction of 'I have').
'followed' says to put letters next to each other.
'first day' becomes 'd' (est letter of 'day').
'back exercises' becomes 'ep' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'r'+'ive'='rive'
'd'+'ep'='dep'
'rive' put after 'dep' is 'DEPRIVE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deprive that I've seen before include "Withhold - divest" , "Take away from, prevent from enjoying" , "Deny (someone) use (of something)" , "Debar from enjoyment" , "Dispossess (someone of something)" .)
