Wake father — am getting worried about time (9)
I believe the answer is:
aftermath
'wake' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'father am getting worried about time' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'worried' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'father'+'am'='fatheram'
'fatheram' anagrammed gives 'aftermah'.
'aftermah' placed around 't' is 'AFTERMATH'.
(Other definitions for aftermath that I've seen before include "Circumstances that follow an event" , "Consequence of an event, situation that follows" , "What may be the later consequences" , "Sequel" , "Frame that in following events" .)
