Man, tense, embraced by man that’s near (6)
I believe the answer is:
mister
'man' is the definition.
(mister is a kind of man)
'tense embraced by man that's near' is the wordplay.
'tense' becomes 't' (grammatical abbreviation).
'embraced by' is an insertion indicator.
'man' becomes 'm' (M is an abbreviation for male or masculine).
'that's near' becomes 'iser' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'm'+'iser'='miser'
't' going within 'miser' is 'MISTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mister that I've seen before include "Mr" , "Set rim (anag.)" , "Merits of form of address to man" , "Male form of address" , "Bloke" .)
