Wonder about brief high point for some time (6)
I believe the answer is:
awhile
'time' is the definition.
(I have seen 'short time' mean 'awhile' so perhaps 'time' could also mean 'awhile')
'wonder about brief high point for' is the wordplay.
'wonder' becomes 'awe' (awe is a kind of wonder).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'brief high' becomes 'h' (abbreviation; 'brief' suggests a short form).
'point for' becomes 'il' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'h'+'il'='hil'
'awe' going around 'hil' is 'AWHILE'.
'some' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awhile that I've seen before include "For a short time" , "briefly" , "a brief period" .)
