Strip joints on time (6)
I believe the answer is:
divest
'strip' is the definition.
(I know that strip can be written as divest)
'joints on time' is the wordplay.
'joints' becomes 'dives' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on time' becomes 't' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'dives'+'t'='DIVEST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for divest that I've seen before include "Strip off clothes, take away" , "Rob" , "Relieve (oneself of garment)" , "Take off, say clothing" , "Strip, denude" .)
