Work hastily and superficially read page (5)
I believe the answer is:
skimp
'work hastily' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'superficially read page' is the wordplay.
'superficially read' becomes 'skim' (skimming is a kind of reading. I am not sure about the 'superficially' bit.).
'page' becomes 'p'.
'skim'+'p'='SKIMP'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skimp that I've seen before include "Deal with superficially" , "Be niggardly" , "Be mean with, scamp" , "Use less than is needed, be penny-pinching" , "Cut back on resources" .)
