Description of job, with story about cocaine - a remarkable thing (9)
I believe the answer is:
spectacle
'a remarkable thing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'description of job with story about cocaine' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'description' could be 'spec' (spec is a kind of description) and 'spec' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'story' could be 'tale' (synonyms) and 'tale' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spectacle that I've seen before include "public exhibition" , "Picture" , "Visually striking performance or display" , "Remarkable sight" , "Entertaining sight, they help to see in the plural" .)
