Shower inspection may be postponed to later date (9)
I believe the answer is:
raincheck
'be postponed to later date' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'shower inspection' is the wordplay.
'shower' becomes 'rain' (synonyms).
'inspection' becomes 'check' (check is a kind of inspection).
'rain'+'check'='RAINCHECK'
'may' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for raincheck that I've seen is " future date?".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
