Vice and evil for an Arabian sailor (6)
I believe the answer is:
sinbad
'an arabian sailor' is the definition.
'sinbad' can be an answer for 'sailor' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'an arabian' bit.
'vice and evil' is the wordplay.
'vice' becomes 'sin'.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'evil' becomes 'bad' (associated in meaning).
'sin'+'bad'='SINBAD'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sinbad that I've seen before include "Pantomime sailor from the Arabian Nights (6)" , "Arabian Nights sailor who made seven voyages" , "Adventurous sailor of Arabian Nights or pantomime" , "Legendary sailor from Arabian nights" , "Sailor of Eastern tale" .)
