Turns up, clairvoyance, for example, is linked to drink - and that's progress? (6)
I believe the answer is:
elapse
'that's progress?' is the definition.
(elapsing is a kind of progressing)
'turns up clairvoyance for example is linked to drink' is the wordplay.
'turns up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'clairvoyance for example' becomes 'esp' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is linked to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drink' becomes 'ale' (ale is a kind of drink).
'esp'+'ale'='espale'
'espale' written backwards gives 'ELAPSE'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Of time, pass by - please" , "(Of time) go by" , "Pass or expire - please" , "Go past" , "run by" .)
