Crossword Genius

Way shown by second elder, say, with time (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

street

'way' is the definition.
(street is a kind of way)

'second elder say with time' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'elder say' becomes 'tree' (elder is a kind of tree).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't'.
's'+'tree'+'t'='STREET'

'shown by' is the link.

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Town road" , "Perry's Della" , "Tester (anag.)" , "Town thoroughfare" , "Urban road" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
