Regarding work in a slanting manner (6)
I believe the answer is:
astoop
'a slanting manner' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'regarding work' is the wordplay.
'regarding' becomes 'as to' (as to that topic...).
'work' becomes 'op' (short for opus).
'asto'+'op'='ASTOOP'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
