Worry of short show before noon (7)
I believe the answer is:
concern
'worry' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'short show before noon' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'show' becomes 'concert' (concert is a kind of show).
'before noon' becomes 'n' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'concert' with its last letter taken away is 'concer'.
'concer'+'n'='CONCERN'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for concern that I've seen before include "Affair" , "Business organisation" , "Relate to; care" , "Feeling of anxiety or sympathy" , "Have something to do with" .)
