23a Unzip ?

[Nacnud Wod]

Many thanks Slaney and Tyrepill
I notice you have a question mark after unzip where does the spirit come in, could it be untie

[tyrepill]

I thought a foreign "a"is un+zip(quickly)

[squarebear]

The clue for 23a has 4 letters. Both "unzip" and "untie" have 5 letters.

[Nacnud Wod]

Sorry Tyrepill I still dont understand it can you explain it please as I stll half asleep

[tyrepill]

23a Quickly open a foreign spirit (5).. is the clue

[GarethG1963]

"Quicky open" is the answer we're looking for, a phrase or word meaning the same.

"a foreign" is asking for us to translare "a" into a foreign language (French in this case) and the French word for "a" is "un"

"spirit" refers to vim, verve, zest, zeal (or "zip" in this case)

put the 2 answers together "Un" & "zip" and voila! UNZIP meanijng to quickly open
