A rich sort of job for a professor (5)
I believe the answer is:
chair
'job for a professor' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a rich sort' is the wordplay.
'sort' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'rich'='arich'
'arich' anagrammed gives 'CHAIR'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chair that I've seen before include "rocker?" , "Backed seat for one" , "Professorship" , "director at meeting" , "Windsor, for example" .)
