University fees f-fiddled and spread out (6)
I believe the answer is:
effuse
'spread out' is the definition.
(effuse can mean to emit or spread)
'university fees f-fiddled' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'fiddled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'u'+'fees'+'f'='ufeesf'
'ufeesf' anagrammed gives 'EFFUSE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for effuse that I've seen before include "Pour forth (words)" , "Pour or spread out" , "Gush" .)
