Clue Chain 3

[Hazlinny]

Miser has kindly asked me to start Chain 3 so here goes ...

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

My clue:  Lightly touch a seabird would indicate a design. (7)

Good Morning all.

 

Mallyh, To Cant is to List (as in To lean over) - used mainly in respect of boats.

[donny48]

Remove the apostrophe giving you cant which is a synonym for list,  list being a synonym for menu.

[mallyh]

[1ozzy]

Cant, record, and menu, all synonyms for list

Could it possibly be absenteeism?

An anagram of semis beaten, doubt it as it's a Miser clue

[miser]

Yes, French leave is def

[1ozzy]

Oh crap, it's open slather for someone else to post a clue.

Night night all, thanks for playing🥱
