What The Sun did perhaps for women taking piece to editor? (6)
I believe the answer is:
warmed
'what the sun did perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'women taking piece to editor?' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'taking' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'piece' becomes 'arm' (arm is a kind of piece**).
'to editor?' becomes 'ed'.
'w'+'arm'+'ed'='WARMED'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warmed that I've seen before include "Heated" , "gave enthusiasm" , "given thermal treatment" .)
