Crossword Genius

All set for about a day, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ready

'all set' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'about a day perhaps' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'day' anagrammed gives 'ady'.
're'+'ady'='READY'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ready that I've seen before include "At hand" , "Prepare < dough" , "Prepare money" , "Willing (to do something), prepare" , "Available now" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
