A craftsman pictures some nuisances (7)
I believe the answer is:
artisan
'a craftsman' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'pictures some nuisances' is the wordplay.
'pictures' becomes 'arti' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'some' means to look at the middle letters.
The central letters of 'nuisances' are 'san'.
'arti'+'san'='ARTISAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for artisan that I've seen before include "Egypt peninsula; holy Mount" , "Skilled tradesman" , "Skilled worker by hand" , "Crafty sort" , "man with skill" .)
