Spotted in lover's pendant, go red? (9)
I believe the answer is:
overspend
'spotted in lover's pendant go red?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'spotted in lover's pendant go' is the wordplay.
'spotted in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'OVERSPEND' is hidden within 'lovers pendant go'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overspend that I've seen before include "To run into debt" , "Excessive outlay" , "extravagant" , "splurge" , "Use too many resources" .)
