That was WEEKEND, a homophone for WEAKENED.

Not really homophones for me, but close enough to get it.

Sorry, I've been away...now if I can only remember the solution to my own clue.

The only recollection I feel somewhat confident about is that "by the sound of it" isn't a homophone indicator. I believe I was looking for faux homophone indicators at the time.

Actually, it turns out it was a homophone...guess I couldn't find a good faux indicator.

Completely = definition
rejected = homophone fodder
by the sound of it = homophone indicator

I'll start giving away letters in the word soon if the above doesn't get us there.

Are you writing another one, or leaving it open for an opportunist cruciverbalist?

Is it evanescent? That's not the password, though.

Not sure how the initial letter is clued either, so maybe it's wrong. Edit: I get it now.

I'm guessing weblike = "e", as in e-mail, e-commerce, e-banking etc.

No. Transcendental entity = e.
