Temporary brand to fit the bill (4-2)
I believe the answer is:
make-do
'temporary' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'brand to fit the bill' is the wordplay.
'brand' becomes 'make' (synonyms).
'to fit the bill' becomes 'do' (do can mean to fit the bill or be sufficient).
'make'+'do'='MAKE-DO'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
