Unfinished cryptic clue I'd make clear (5)
I believe the answer is:
lucid
'clear' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'unfinished cryptic clue i'd' is the wordplay.
'unfinished cryptic clue' becomes 'luc' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'luc'+'id'='LUCID'
'make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lucid that I've seen before include "Transparently clear" , "Coherent" , "Clear-cut" , "Crystal clear" , "Clear, easy to understand" .)
