Set free or let out again? (8)
I believe the answer is:
released
'set free' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'let out again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'let' could be 'leased' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'leased' is found within the answer.
'again?' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for released that I've seen before include "free after imprisonment?" , "Freed from confinement" , "Set free" , "Discharged" , "Sent from prison" .)
