To time without delay (5)
I believe the answer is:
today
'without delay' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'to time' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'day' (day is a kind of time).
'to'+'day'='TODAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for today that I've seen before include "Nowadays" , "Modern times" , "Current period of 24 hours" , "Yesterday's tomorrow" , "one of our papers, once" .)
