Working again in a new partnership? (8)
I believe the answer is:
repaired
'working' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'again in a new partnership?' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a new partnership?' becomes 'repaid' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're' put into 'repaid' is 'REPAIRED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repaired that I've seen before include "Retired" , "Mended, restored" , "Restored to good condition" , "Fixed" , "Put right - went" .)
