Withdraw from society kayoed after drink (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
drop out
'withdraw' is the definition.
(I know that drop out is a type of withdraw)
'society kayoed after drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'kayoed' could be 'out' (synonyms) and 'out' is found in the answer.
'drink' could be 'drop' (I have seen 'Small drink' mean 'drop' so perhaps 'drink' could also mean 'drop') and 'drop' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drop out that I've seen before include "Kick" , "leave society?" , "rugby manoeuvre" , "Cease to participate" , "withdrawn student" .)
