A bigwig, but has he no right to good deliveries? (8)
I believe the answer is:
governor
'a bigwig but has he' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'no right to good deliveries?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'deliveries?' becomes 'over' (a cricket over consists of six deliveries).
'no'+'r'='nor'
'g'+'over'='gover'
'nor' put after 'gover' is 'GOVERNOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for governor that I've seen before include "Person in charge of colony, prison etc" , "Official appointed to rule" , "captain" , "chief magistrate)" , "Some misgiving over Norse ruler" .)
