Spent two notes at a celebratory party (6)
I believe the answer is:
effete
'spent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'two notes at a celebratory party' is the wordplay.
'two notes' means two substitutions for 'note'.
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'note' becomes 'f' (musical note).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a celebratory party' becomes 'fete' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'celebratory' bit.).
'e'+'f'+'fete'='EFFETE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for effete that I've seen before include "Feeble, lacking vitality" , "Feeble, having lost vitality" , "Feeble, having lost vitatlity" , "Affected, ineffectual" , "Enfeebled" .)
