Type of profit which farmer makes in advance, incurring large fine (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
half-yearly
'fine' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'type of profit which farmer makes in advance incurring large' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'advance' could be 'early' (similar in meaning) and 'early' is found within the answer.
'large' could be 'l' (eg in clothes sizes) and 'l' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
