Some said I put savings back, being daft (6)
I believe the answer is:
stupid
'daft' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'some said i put savings back' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'diputs' is hidden in the letters of 'said i put savings'.
'diputs' back-to-front is 'STUPID'.
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for stupid that I've seen before include "Idiotic" , "potty" , "Gormless" , "Not intelligent, thick" , "Very silly" .)
