Three parsings I can't get or don't like :-

Had unusually sound tips for purchase (8) ADHESION, Why does "sound tips" = ESION?

Brother's style indeed shown after Mass? (7) TONSURE. Since when did "ton" = MASS?

Round figure with right clothing is content (5) TENOR. Presumably "round" means reverse R(ONE)T, but how does "content" = TENOR? I would have thought TENOR means the feeling or tone of something said or written (Chambers says "general purport, drift), rather than its actual content.

ton = large amount mass = large amount
Esion is 'noise' tipped, reversed

ton is weight/mass

tenor is Ok for content
1 Sound = NOISE tips (up)/reverses
Esion is Noise, sound backwards/tips...
Sound tips = noise backwards
TioMateo, the Times sometimes uses definitions from the Oxford Dictionary of English, and 'tenor ...the content of something' is listed there.
