Time for abstinence that appears to pass quickly? (7)
I believe the answer is:
fastday
'appears to pass quickly?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'time for abstinence' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'day' (day is a kind of time).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'abstinence' becomes 'fast' (fast is a kind of abstinence).
'day' after 'fast' is 'FASTDAY'.
'that' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for fastday that I've seen is " time for prayer".)
