Tie for a time out there (6)
I believe the answer is:
tether
'tie' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'time out there' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'out' indicates an anagram.
'there' with letters rearranged gives 'ether'.
't'+'ether'='TETHER'
'for a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "Rope for tying animal" , "Restraint for animal" , "Restrictive rope fixed to one spot" , "Rope restricting animal's movement" , "Rope keeping animal from straying" .)
