Suffering malaria? Time to get some rope? (6)
I believe the answer is:
lariat
'some rope?' is the definition.
(lariat is a kind of rope)
'suffering malaria? time to get' is the wordplay.
'to get' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'got' mean this).
'LARIAT' is hidden within 'suffering malaria time'.
(Other definitions for lariat that I've seen before include "Rope used as a lasso" , "Long narrow ditch" , "Long noosed rope for catching animals" , "Line of cowboy" , "Cowcatcher" .)
