Crossword Genius

Sending diva fur is wise (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advisable

'wise' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'sending diva fur' is the wordplay.
'sending' indicates an anagram (letters are sent to different positions).
'fur' becomes 'sable' (sable is a kind of fur).
'diva' with letters rearranged gives 'advi'.
'advi'+'sable'='ADVISABLE'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for advisable that I've seen before include "Prudent - recommended" , "Wise, recommended" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
