Yearly grub in batter for model (8)
I believe the answer is:
paradigm
'model' is the definition.
(paradigm is a kind of model)
'yearly grub in batter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'yearly' could be 'pa' (abbreviation for per annum) and 'pa' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paradigm that I've seen before include "Epitome" , "Adam grip (anag.)" , "Archetype" , "Typical example or model (of something)" , "Example, model or pattern" .)
