Some time in a daze, we hear (4)
I believe the answer is:
days
'some time' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a daze we hear' is the wordplay.
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'daze' is a homophone of 'DAYS'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for days that I've seen before include "Time period(s)" , "24-hour periods" , "` `They are not long, the .... of wine and roses' ' (Dowson)" , "Twenty four hour periods" , "Twenty four-hour periods" .)
