Yours truly is an example of one making PM recoil (8)
I believe the answer is:
compiler
'yours truly is an example' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one making pm recoil' is the wordplay.
'one making' indicates an anagram.
'pm'+'recoil'='pmrecoil'
'pmrecoil' anagrammed gives 'COMPILER'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for compiler that I've seen before include "computing routine" , "program" , "Collator" , "Writer of document" , "See 23" .)
