Wouldnt allow evil to get in front (7)
I believe the answer is:
forbade
'wouldnt allow' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'evil to get in front' is the wordplay.
'evil' becomes 'bad' (similar in meaning).
'to get in' indicates putting letters inside.
'front' becomes 'fore' (synonyms).
'bad' going into 'fore' is 'FORBADE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forbade that I've seen before include "Vetoed" , "banned" , "Disallowed" , "Prohibited" .)
